Ask A Question about the Daf
Nidah 34
1.JEWISH PHYSIOLOGY The Gemara suggests that perhaps the Shichvas Zera
of a non-Jew might have different properties from that of a Jew, since
the non-Jews eat non-kosher foods and are physically affected by their
diet. This has important ramifications.
The CHASAM SOFER (Teshuvos YD 175) concludes that we cannot assume
that a medical treatment that was tested successfully on a non-Jew
will also be successful on a Jew. Therefore, if a Jewish woman always
saw blood as a result of Tashmish, we cannot determine that a
particular cure is reliable is reliable just because it was
experimented successfully on non-Jews.

How many of you are still holding out that Jews still view non-Jews as
human beings? The material above almost looks like animal
experimentation to me! Sounds like Jews are into some sort of a
creation of a Master Race doesn't it? :-)
BTW, Jews are the most racially concious people on Earth; they like
calling others racial bigots to hide their own sense of "superiority."
