How do cultural values shape bioethical dilemmas?
This talk will explore how Israel, as a Jewish-democratic state, has addressed several bioethical challenges through its policy-making, taking into account historical, cultural, and religious perspectives. Hastings Center President Vardit Ravitsky will examine three key examples: fertility care, end-of-life decision-making, and posthumous reproduction, including the impact of the events of October 7th.

Having been directly involved in policy-making on these issues, Dr. Ravitsky will offer an insider’s look into the dynamic relationship between cultural values and democratic discourse in the realm of bioethics.
