(23) Euthanasia and Abortion

What Does Judaism Say About...?

Most people think about the end of life, and in these days, when the length can be extended due to technological advances, many people often wish to end their lives before their pain and suffering become too great. In this podcast, the attitude to and value of life itself will be analyzed from a Jewish perspective, as well as the definition of the end of life, which will have implications of the permissibility of euthanasia, ending life early. Similarly, at the other end of the spectrum, the issue when life begins has divided society in the 21 st century. Whether life begins at conception or at birth has serious implications about the issue of abortion. This podcast will also examine the attitudes and sources on this topic from a Jewish perspective.
