The Nachmani case
I was wondering if you have any articles in English that deal with the ethical issues involved in the Nachmani case? If so, would you
i am a 46-year-old single (but looking) woman who had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction after having been diagnosed with breast cancer a little under two years ago. the second stage of the reconstruction involves creating a new nipple and then tattooing the skin around to match the areola of the other breast using micropigmentation/medical tattooing. is such a procedure halachically permissible?
what are the halakhic issues involved? is there a heter available for such a procedure?
thank you very much
You are allowed to go through the tattoo procedure for the nipple reconstruction.
