It is man, woman, and God who join together to create a new human child, says the Talmud. With the advent of the new reproductive technologies, the doctor-scientist has joined the team. Suddenly, humans are not only controlling nature but creating it. This presents religious and practical challenges, many of which have been discussed in Tradition: The Journal of Jewish Thought published by the Rabbinical Council of America. The articles collected here demonstrate how classical Jewish sources offer insights into contemporary problems. Everyone interested in the ethical implications of cutting-edge technology will find this book invaluable. Emanuel Feldman, editor of Tradition, is rabbi emeritus of Atlanta's Congregation Beth Jacob and editor of the Rashi translation project of the Ariel Institute. His most recent books are On Judaism: Conversations on Being Jewish in Today's World and Tales Out of Shul: The Unorthodox Journal of an Orthodox Rabbi.
