The our cars
you should try
before you buy a Peugeot

Continued from Page 26

Before you make up your mind, make up a check list. Compare
all five cars. How many of them have 4-wheel independent
suspensions? Which has the most cot-dm-table
seats? The smoothest ride? We're confident
you'll discover that Peugeot is perhaps the
most comfortable car in the world today.

"We are sensitive to the
child and his family. We
plan a program for each
child."
The UHS maintains close
contact with students and
their families. Parents par-
ticipate in an annual Shab-
bat program where students
perform a service and put
together a booklet. They
also attend the model Seder
and other holiday activities.
A yearly "Shabbaton" or
Shabbat weekend creates a
strong bond between

teachers and students. Stu-
dents who are able to stay
away from home for a
weekend, sleep, eat and
pray together in a weekend
of Shabbat festivities
housed in the five teachers'
homes.
Bar and bat mitzvah
training allows students the
opportunity to join the
community • of Jewish
adults. UHS tries to hold
the ceremony as close to age
13 as possible, with each
child performing to his abil-
ity. UHS helps arrange ac-
commodations at area syn-

New York — How does
Judaism view test-tube
babies? What should an ob-
servant Jewish couple do if
they are infertile? Of if they
learn that their unborn
child will be born with a
handicap? Does Judaism
approve of current scientific
efforts to probe the mys-
teries of the genes, or does it
view all such attempts as
unholy and dangerous tam-
pering with nature?
These are among the
questions discussed in a
booklet just published by
the American Jewish
Committee's William
Pete':', ek National Jewish
Fami! Cent 'sr. Titled Gene-
tic Engirr'.ring and the
Family: Promise or Peril?,
the booklet summarizes the
proceedings of a conference
sponsored by the center in
April of this year.
One of the central conclu-
sions of the conference was
that Jewish tradition and
ethics not only do not forbid
genetic research but prob-
ably can be considered to
encourage it. In the Jewish
view, the booklet says, 'God
has charged man "to 'con-
quer' the world, that is, to
master nature (which)
means that we should (try)
to unlock the secrets of
genetics for the benefit of
humanity . (and that) we
are fulfilling God's will by
uncovering the secrets of
the building blocks of life."
The conferees also agreed
that treatments to help
couples overcome infertility
were in consonance with
Jewish law, both because
Judaism commands that
man "be fruitful and multi-
ply" and because "there is
an obligation to heal the
sick, and enabling the infer-
tile to conceive is a form of
healng."
Among the genetic issues
that could be considered
"gray areas" as far as

O.+

Jewish law is concerned are
artificial insemination, lab-
oratory fertilization, and
abortion following a genetic

Canadian denied
dues exemption
by union, court

Toronto (JTA) A union
member cannot refuse to
pay union dues because he
opposes support by the On-
tario Federation of Labor
for the palestine Liberation
Organization, particularly
on grounds of a claim to a
religious exemption, a
Canadian court has ruled.
The court ruled, two to
one, that Chaim Forer of
Toronto was not enttled to a
religious exemption of
payment of dues, an exemp-
tion granted him by the On-
tario Public Service Rela-
tions Tribunal.

screening indicating that a
fetus was defective.

All of these issues raise
serious ethical questions
that concerned Jews will
have to weigh and discuss at
length before they can come
to any conclusions as to
what actions are in agree-
ment with Jewish princi-
ples.

As Id abortion, the AJ-
Committee publication
notes, while Jewish law
does not forbid abortion,
and clearly permits it when
the mother's life is in
danger, it also holds that all
life, including potential life,
has sanctity. Moreover, the
booklet asks, who is to de-
cide what is a "defect," and
might not decisions to abor
"defective" fetuses be akin
to plans to create a "master
race"?

The conferees urged that
the Jewish community view
the questions raised by
"genetic engineering" in the
light of Jewish ethical prin-
ciples, particularly the cen-
tral Jewish principles that
human beings are not
"spare parts," and that no
action must violate human •
dignity and sanctity.

vision will be held next No-
vember.
