We are Called to Preserve Life

from Weekly Torah Commentaries · host Russ Resnik

A principle in Judaism known as pikuach nefesh roughly translates to “saving a life.” The principle holds that human life is of the highest value—so high a value, in fact, that the commands of Torah can and should be set aside if a life can be spared in the process.
