Jewish bioethics on this topic is in some ways like all other religious ethical approaches, in some ways like some other approaches, and in some ways like no other approach. Comparing Jewish bioethics with the bioethics of other faith traditions is a complex matter. There are many differences as well as similarities among Jewish bioethical approaches to reproductive technologies. Also, many similarities as well as differences may be found in comparing Jewish approaches as a group with those of other traditions. Having said this, I believe that there are some distinctive (though on the whole not unique) characteristics that tend to establish a family","PeriodicalId":82936,"journal":{"name":"The annual of the Society of Christian Ethics.

First, according to contemporary Western advocates of physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia, \"death with dignity\" is understood negatively as bringing about death to avoid or prevent indignity, that is, to avoid a degrading existence. Second, there is a similar morally affirmative view on death with dignity in ancient China, in classical Confucianism in particular. Third, there is a consonance as well as dissonance between these two ethics of death with dignity, such as that the Confucian perspective would regard the argument for physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia as less than compelling because of the latter's impoverished vision of human life.","PeriodicalId":82936,"journal":{"name":"The annual of the Society of Christian Ethics.

The explosion of knowledge about the biological basis of life has been further accelerated by the inception of the Human Genome Project (HGP), a $3 billion initiative begun in 1998 to map and sequence the human genetic code and to identify the 4,000 genes whose defects are assumed to be the cause of genetically based diseases. To respond to public concerns about the project, Congress allocated three percent and then five percent of the HGP's budget for research on the ethical, legal, and social implications of the human genetics revolution. A working group overseeing this funding identified nine topics deemed to be of particular importance, among them: fairness in the use of genetic information with respect to insurance; the impact of knowledge of genetic variation on the individual, including issues of stigmatization and impact on self-image; privacy and confidentiality of genetic information and related consent issues; impact on genetic counseling and reproductive decisions influenced by genetic information; questions raised by the commercialization of the products from the project; and conceptual and philosophical implications on the concept of human responsibility and the issue of free will versus determinism.1 That the genetics revolution raises major questions for the religious community was quickly recognized. Some early reflections by moral theologians, such as Karl Rahneri and Paul Ramsey,3 reflect a diffuse sense of unease or anxiety about genetic engineering and the implications of altering the genetic basis of life. Like many of the religious writings that followed, these ethicists raised, but did not resolve, questions about the appropriate limits of human intervention into the Creation and the basis of making such a determination. Other writers have acknowledged that\"[D]evelopments in genetic science and technology compel our","PeriodicalId":82936,"journal":{"name":"The annual of the Society of Christian Ethics.
