This book would not have been written without all the lay participants taking part in interviews and focus groups discussions in Germany and Israel during 2005–2007 and 2009–2011. We would like to thank all the respondents who participated in this study. Before and during our joint data collection we were also involved in cross-cultural networking that paved the way for the work on which this book is based. We co-organized and participated in a series of three German-Israeli expert workshops. The first workshop in this series was “The Influence of Religion and Culture on Biomedical Sciences: A German-Israeli Dialogue about Medical Possibilities at the Edges of Life” held in November 2007 in Berlin.

The work presented in this workshop was published in a special issue (co-edited by us) of the journal New Genetics and Society. The third workshop in this se
