Artificial insemination in Judaism

Sažetak
Ovaj članak analizira jedno do najdelikatnijih pitanja na području židovske medicinske etike, pitanje umjetne oplodnje. Na području židovskog zakona (halahe) i medicine ovo je vjerojatno jedno od najprimjenjivijih i najpoznatijih pitanja. Prije negoli se upusti u praktičnu i zakonsku raspravu, autor raspravlja o načelnim i teorijskim pitanjima vezanim uz odnos između znanosti (medicine) i halahe, kao i o pitanju ljudske intervencije u Božje djelo u okviru judaizma. Ovaj rad razmatra glavne moguće scenarije umjetne oplodnje koja se temelji na podrijetlu sperme koja može potjecati od supruga, od donora Židova, od nežidova i iz banke sperme. U svakom od scenarija nastaju posebne halahičke poteškoće. Raščlamba tog pitanja načinjena je na temelju niza izvora rabinske literature, od talmudskih vremena preko srednjega vijeka sve do suvremenih rabina i literature koja je ovdje prvi put prevedena na hrvatski jezik. Tekstove s hebrejskoga i aramejskoga preveo je sam autor.

Abstract
This article analyses one of the most delicate issues in the field of Jewish Medical Ethics, the question of Artificial insemination. In the spectrum of Jewish Law and Medicine, this is probably one of the most practical and popular question. Before going to the practical and legal debate, the author is discussing the principal and theoretical issues of Relationship between Science (Medicine) and Halacha as well the question of Human Intervention in the Affairs of God in Judaism. The work is analysing the main possible scenarios of Artificial insemination, which are based on the source of the sperm that can come from the husband, from a donor who is Jewish, non-Jew and a Sperm Bank. Etch scenario arises its own halahik specific problems. This work is analysing this question through many sources of Rabbinical literature from the Talmud time through the middle ages until modern time, literature that for the first time is being translated to the Croatian language by the author from Hebrew and Aramaic.
