Israeli Doctors Once Again do The Impossible
« on: July 01, 2007, 06:23:55 PM »
Doctors have managed to extract eggs from 5 -year-old girls and freeze them for use when they are old enough to have children. The scientific advance, which was thought to be impossible, will enable girls suffering childhood cancers such as leukemia to become parents later in life. Thousands are left infertile each year after undergoing chemotherapy.

It also opens the possibility of storing girls’ eggs to protect them against any form of infertility in later life.

Previously it was believed the eggs of young girls were too immature to be extracted.

Israeli doctors have, however, managed to extract the eggs and then culture them in test-tubes to make them viable. The resulting eggs are no different to those of a 20-year-old girl, say the doctors.

Scary?  Nonsense!  This is wonderful!  Another example of the geniuses in Israel and how the world is a better place because Israel exists.  This is an indication of the love of life that Jews in Israel have, let's just make sure we don't give this technology to the ay-rabs.

It is scary, seeing how the world has advanced so much. When a beneficial branch of science has been opened it also leads to bad things..........this discovery will probably help other aspects of gentics in investigation and possibly even cloning.

Messing around with embryos too much never seems completely ethical.

I feel very uneasy about fertility treatments. Things like freezing eggs, artificial insemination. This to me is dangerously close to G-d's territory. I think that couples should try to have babies at a reasonably early age. And if it doesn't work - it doesn't work. Maybe G-d has other plans for them.

I am not against medicine and doctors. It is only assisted reproduction that I mind. I cannot quite articulate why. I guess I feel it should happen spontaneously - as a miracle of a loving marriage.  :-[

No, you are right! It is an extremely controversially ethical issue and i'm sure rubbinic scholars would agree with you.

As long as in the heart, within,
A Jewish soul is yearning,
And towards the end of the East
An eye still watches toward Zion,

Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our own land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

These Great Israeli Doctors are perfect examples of why Judaism is Right and why Islam and the Muslims are Wrong !
Did you know that 3 or 4 of the Muslim terrorist involved in the Glasgow,Scotland airport attack were DOCTORS!
How can anybody even begin to put Islam in the same sentence as Judaism...

It is amazing stuff. However, is it Jewishly eithical?  We need to ask the rabbis.

Chaim might answer "I dont' know, have to ask the rabbis"  Better to ask a rabbi for the answer. Chaim's not a rabbi.

I think that Jewish Doc's are amazing at what they have been able to achieve for many years... I happen to be a medical student doing rotations right now, and I hope to be able one day to reach similar goals.
All the best and most renowned  Md's are Jewish, but recently I've noticed many Indians coming over to America wanting a piece of the pie. Is that right? Do we really need more foreign doctors, especially Muslims here?

It's just staggering to read about Jewish achievment over the years. Medicine, science, engineering, electonics, agriculture..........the list is endless. Talk about a blessing unto the world.

Then we look at islam's contribution...........?......................?..................
...........?? Nothing but rape, death and misery.
