From Imago Dei in the Jewish-Christian Traditions to Human Dignity in Contemporary Jewish Law

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the role of Judaism in the value of image day / human dignity, especially in the context of bioethics. Two major topics were discussed. The first is a comparative analysis of the Anthropological and Ethical Concepts of Image Day as Jewish and Western Thought (Christian and Secular European Values). The Jewish tradition stands out the human body, especially its reproductive function and appearance, and it is in the center of Image Day. The second is the day's role as a moral value for others. In Rabbi · Judaism, respecting human dignity is not the main morality code but secondary worth of love, sometimes other moral laws and values.

The doctrine of Christian human dignity can change the current dialogue. Women and children, citizens and immigrants, blacks and whites - it provides a solid foundation to protect everyone's dignity and value. Image Day means that you do not have to choose between conservative and progressive biases. Christian way of doing is a better choice. This is a new, more stable position. The Christian way means that you refuse to reduce the dignity of someone's life for others. No one is a consumable item. Christy Britton expressed an alternative to Christianity. She wrote: "Professional life is of course anti-abortion, which means paying attention to the life from the uterus to the tomb, which supports a group that is disadvantageously boldly contradicting the world's value system "

Beliefs on where dignity comes from differ between different philosophical and religious systems. Christians believe that human beings are built in the statue of God and have dignity. This is called Imagodei (pronounced ee - marg - oh day). Kant believes that humans are so rational that they have dignity. Others believe that dignity is a way to recognize our common humanity. Some people say that this is the social structure that we create. Regardless of its origin, this concept has had an impact in today's political and ethical discourse.
