Jewish law covers all aspects of the Orthodox Jew's life, including questions of life and death. Talmudic texts already discussed the status of the newborn infant and this serves as a guide in modern times when faced with complex questions of withdrawing life from such infants when it is deemed that they will not survive. This paper reviews the essence of Jewish law and provides some directives in answering such questions.
犹太律法涵盖了正统犹太教徒生活的方方面面，包括生老病死的问题。犹太教法典中的经文已经讨论了新生儿的地位，这为现代提供了指导，当面对需要从这些婴儿身上撤去生命以使其存活无望的复杂问题时，可以以此为依据。本文回顾了犹太律法的本质，并提供了一些解答此类问题的指导方针。
