[edit] Improvements

Few ideas:

• Sources cited, need backstory of 19th century and maybe earlier? Halperin helpful for Israel, need Europe.

• Expand key issues, summary style descriptions of key topics. Describe controversies internal to the field

• See Also for related topics and Jewish law/ethics principles.

• Recent trends in Jewish bioethics, expand

• Maybe address here certain overarching issues common to medical ethics, such as Jewish view of patient autonomy, confidentiality, professional role ethics, beneficence, etc.

Of course, need help w/categ's, WProjs, tags, etc. Thanks. HG | Talk 23:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
