Families' religious beliefs often profoundly shape their approach to medical decisions, including treatment of their sick or premature newborns. But there are few studies of major religions' teachings about the newborn. This volume provides information to neonatal intensive care unit professionals, parents of NICU patients, and students of bioethics on religious teachings about the status, treatment, and ritual accompaniments of care of the newborn.
