  "JEWISH MEDICAL ETHICS TUESDAY 13 OCTOBER AT 12PM Commencing tomorrow, Rabbi Ettlinger will be hosting a 4 part series on Medical Ethics. This 1-hour lunchtime session promises to be fascinating!

As science develops, it creates ethical dilemmas, which we could never have contemplated 10 or even 20 years ago, never mind 100 or two." Over the next 4 weeks, topics will include: Prenatal intervention, genetic identity, pain and drugs and heroic measures in dying."
