Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, the head of the Tzohar organization’s ethics department and member of the Helsinky medical ethics board, said on Wednesday morning that the new instructions announced by Israel’s Medical Association to treat the most severely wounded person first, even if that person is a terrorist, is a grave mistake.
According to Rabbi Cherlow, victims should be treated before aggressors or terrorists. Only if it is unclear who the perpetrator is, should the most severely wounded person be treated first.
