Narratives and Jewish bioethics
Crane, Jonathan K.

Narratives and Jewish bioethics[electronic resource] /Jonathan K. Crane. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource. - Content and context in theological ethics.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Genesis of Jewish bioethics -- Narratives, norms, and deadly complications -- A dying story: told and retold -- Living to die: theo-political interpretations -- Dying to die: bioethical interpretations -- Salvaging stories in and for Jewish bioethics.

Modern Jewish debate about euthanasia regularly pivots on interpretations of the Talmudic story of Rabbi Chananya ben Teryadon being burned alive by the Romans sometime in the second century. Though many modern bioethicists say this fiery story presents a clear and precise position on euthanasia, the narrative itself is more complicated and ambiguous. The implications of this disconnect between the story as it is and how bioethicists read it are problematic for patients, the Jewish textual tradition, and for modern bioethics as a whole. Applying fresh critical analysis to this tale, Jonathan Crane traces the fascinating and challenging story of narratives and norms in modern Jewish bioethics. The result is an unprecedented examination of the impact of a classic story in all its variants, and of narrative in general, on contemporary bioethical discourse.
