3. Judaism teaches us that abortion is wrong unless there is a valid reason to have one for example, you do not have the financial capability to support the child or you have a serious medical condition. You cannot abort the child once you are 10 weeks pregnant.
4 Jewish people believe that in some cases euthanasia is acceptable such as passive euthanasia; this is when you do not stop someone killing themselves even though you know they are going to kill themselves.

Another case in which it would be acceptable to take your own life is if you are putting your life on the line to save someone else’s such as a blood
