Catholic, I have written my MD dissertation on ethical problems in the Jewish sources.For my PhD dissertation, I started from one, unexpected, conclusion of that previous work: "Will what happened there [Auschwitz] not return in our days in a trivial way?" I discovered the eugenic context of medicine under the Nazi regime but still wanted to work on more mainstream biomedicine and so became interested in Alexis Carrel (1873-1944). French, Catholic, Nobel Prize winner (1912), Carrel had spent almost his entire career in one of the temples of biomedical research of the time - the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York. In 1935, he published an essay suggesting to solve societal problems through biology. Nothing really special, just that the book quickly became a bestseller (more than 100,000 copies sold during the first year in the US and so in France, translated into 13 languages at least before WWII) when now we saw it as a precedent to the Gas chambers and the USSR Gulags! So it asks a very simple question: What does reading mean? Would our moral framework have changed? My other research topics are: - The first reception of the Nuremberg Medical Trial and its impact on the constitution of the ethical discourse in French, American and Israeli biomedical contexts. In other words, how do we pass from an ethical discourse in medicine to bioethics? I am particularly following the two ethical issues debated at Nuremberg: euthanasia and human experimentation.- The representations of the embryo in the Jewish sources. I am especially interested in a Midrash called "Seder Yetsirat Havlad/On the formation of the fetus". According to Langerman, one of the earliest text in Hebrew literature transmitted as a scientific text.- The new medical science vs. Jewish tradition in Tuviyah Cohen's Ma'aseh Tuviyah (Venice, 1708). This topic brought me to some scholar publications (sse papers) and also to perform on stage with a group of baroque music friends (see websites).Professional experience:- from 2001 to 2007, I was Lecturer in History of Medicine and Medical Ethics at the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University. There, I learned to develop peculiar skills for teaching what I like most (medical ethics through history) to medical students, mostly not greatly interested neither in history nor in medical ethics. I learned Problem Based Learning technics, which I developed to Pictures BL, in small as well in big groups, using technics like snowball, etc. I also developed a self reflection teaching through cinema and cultural means as well as evaluations instruments based on active work by the students using critical thinking, basic historic or cultural skills, and ability to sketch a rational and emotional argument. I later taught Judaism in Medicine and Health at Ashkelon Academic College.- I am running in Jerusalem a house of interreligious and intercultural encounters with various cultural activities at the basis for meetings and dialogues- since 2012, I serve in the Israel National Council for Bioethics as both historian and representative of the christian minorities(French born, I am living in Israel.

Évènement éditorial à sa parution en 1935, l’ouvrage de Carrel a été depuis cité par les mouvances les plus radicales, de Sayyid Qutb à Jean-Marie Le Pen. Qu’est-ce qui motive un prix Nobel de médecine à s’attaquer à des problèmes de société ? Quelles réponses y trouvent son époque, sa génération ? Qu’y trouvons-nous? De l’ancrage littéraire (Arrowsmith de S. Lewis, 1925) au réseau d’amis à son origine, on assiste à la radicalisation d’un discours comme effet, sur l’auteur, du succès auprès du public. À la croisée de l’histoire culturelle et sociale des sciences et de l’histoire littéraire, le propos, basé sur l’analyse de correspondances souvent inédites (Bergson, Hoover, Lindbergh, Artaud), peut éclairer les débats sur l'eugénisme, l'euthanasie, voir sur le transhumanisme

Since the end of World War II, Nazi medical atrocities have been a topic of ambivalent reactions and debates, both in Germany and internationally: An early period of silence was followed by attempts of victims and representatives of medical organisations to describe what happened. Varying narratives developed, some of which had a stabilizing function for the identity of the profession, whereas others had a critical and de-stabilizing function. In today's international debates in the field of medical ethics, there are frequent references to Nazi medical atrocities, in particular in the context of discussions about research on human subjects, and on euthanasia. The volume analyses the narratives on Nazi medical atrocities, their historicity in different stages of post-war medicine, as well as in the international discourse on biomedical ethics.

Cet article propose de mener une comparaison des retombees ethiques de deux proces de medecins en 1930 et 1946/47 : le proces de Lubeck et celui de Nuremberg. Par cette comparaison, il s’agit d’ouvrir une discussion concernant la fonction de la codification dans les passages de l’ethique a l’ethos et inversement. La comparaison s’appuie sur deux textes : les Richtlinien de 1931 et le code de Nuremberg de 1947. Il s’agit de les mettre en parallele et de les confronter, d’une part au regard de leurs caracteristiques performatives, c’est-a-dire des caracteristiques effectives inscrites dans la lettre meme du texte, selon la formule d’Austin « quand dire c’est faire », et d’autre part, de comparer leur contenu. Malgre les ressemblances sur bien des points, c’est la difference de facture des deux textes qui est le plus remarquable. D’un cote, les Richtlinien se presente comme un outil pour reguler la recherche, emanant d’une instance de sante publique et s’adressant aux medecins prioritairement, le code de Nuremberg apparait comme bien plus difficile a qualifier. Il parait, finalement, que le code de Nuremberg inscrit dans le droit une chose extremement simple : la possibilite pour le sujet experimental de dire non, la possibilite pour la personne de refuser l’experimentation.

At a time when bioethical issues are at the top of public and political agendas, there is a renewed interest in representations of the embryo in various religious traditions. One of the major traditions that has contributed to Western representations of the embryo is the Jewish tradition. This tradition poses some difficulties that may deter scholars, but also presents some invaluable advantages. These derive from two components, the search for limits and narrativity, both of which are directly connected with the manner in which Jewish tradition was constructed in Antiquity. The article accomplishes three goals: To introduce some central elements in ancient Rabbinic literature on the subject of the embryo and its representation; To present this body of literature as clearly as possible, noting some of the difficulties encountered by scholars who engage in its study; To explain how the literature's textuality came about, examining the particular sociopolitical circumstances of Ju...
