médecine juive

Médecine juive, or Jewish medical ethics, refers to a tradition rooted in Jewish law and philosophy that guides medical decision-making. It emphasizes the value of human life, compassion, and spiritual considerations, ensuring healthcare aligns with religious principles. This includes respecting patient autonomy, privacy, and dignity, as well as specific practices like prohibitions against certain treatments or rituals for the dying. While it influences medical ethics within Jewish communities, it also interacts with broader bioethical debates, balancing scientific medicine with spiritual and moral values derived from Jewish teachings.
