What are the parameters of Jewish law for medical professionals treating their parents?

Adoption should not be viewed as any different or less meaningful than all other family ties, and parental responsibility is equal to that of biological parents.

One who is disrespectful to his or her parents, such as being rough with them or speaking to them harshly, is cursed by God.

When honoring our parents, we ensure that family peace, harmony and values are continued and passed on to the next generation. It is also a way of honoring G-d.
