Beliefs about Healthcare vary, but Jews believe that almost any law can be broken to save a life (with the exception of 3 laws), and that a patient must follow a doctor's orders.

The subject of medical ethics is a specialised field of halacha (Jewish law) and is a very complex topic.

Yes they do...

They believe in preserving life and trying to keep healthy and fit, however, if someone is terminally ill, they can be treated for the pain, but cannot do anything about the death, if death comes for them, then it is the end.

Also, they believe that they cannot harm or dictate death as it is against their religion.

They also believe that their prayers have healing abilities.
