Where There's Life, There's Life by David M. Feldman

In this book, Rabbi Feldman makes the case for life’s intrinsic preciousness and does so, first, by guiding us through the details of pikkuach nefesh - the principle in Jewish religious law that sets saving of life and health above all else. He then illustrates this life-affirming perspective by means of a comprehensive exploration of abortion, euthanasia and the right to die, martyrdom, the mandate to heal, the mind-body connection, embryonic stem cell research, organ transplants - including the controversial questions of heart transplantation. He leads us with edifying expertise, but in eminently readable style, through an analysis of pro-natalism, new reproductive technology, even the death penalty and the writing of Living Wills.
