The Baby Fae Case The issues surrounding the Baby Fae case raised some important questions concerning medical ethics.

And so, I grew up dreaming I would some day change healthcare and help those in need of medical attention. As the first step towards fulfilling this dream, I completed my undergrad in Physical Therapy from Sancheti College Institute of Physiotherapy, Pune. Four years as a physical

observation that I found intriguing was offered by Rabbi Adat Shalom (2011) who states, “…spirituality, which takes it’s character from individuality.” In 1997, Dr. John K Testerman, an Associate Professor for the Department of Family Medicine at Loma Linda University School of Medicine presented his thoughts on the subject, stating: The most fundamental concept of spirituality is that there is a transcendent dimension to life, something or someone beyond our own ego and sense of experience.
