Baruch Brody
Baruch A. Brody (21 April 1943[1] – 30 May 2018)[2] was an American bioethicist who was among the first scholars in the field of applied ethics to write about abortion in the era following Roe v. Wade.[3] He was the Leon Jaworski Professor of biomedical ethics and former Director of the Center for Ethics, Medicine and Public Issues at The Baylor College of Medicine[4] and Andrew Mellow professor of Humanities in the Department of Philosophy at Rice University.[5]
Brody received his B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1962 and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1967. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2001 and was a fellow of the Hastings Center.
He has been noted for his contributions to Jewish ethics, as one of a number of "professional bioethicists with medical training" who uses "Judaic resources and reasoning to illustrate and augment their arguments."[6]
