{Yoma 82a continues}
If you have a man whose body is more important to him than his money, therefore it is stated בְכָל-נַפְשְׁךָ. And if you have a man whose money is more important to him than his body, therefore it is stated בְכָל-מְאֹדֶךָ.

Sexual sins {that one des not violate them because of danger to life} how do I know?
For they learnt {in a brayta}: Rabbi said: {Devarim 22:26}:

כה וְאִם-בַּשָּׂדֶה יִמְצָא הָאִישׁ, אֶת-הַנַּעֲרָ הַמְאֹרָשָׂה, וְהֶחֱזִיק-בָּהּ הָאִישׁ, וְשָׁכַב עִמָּהּ: וּמֵת, הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁכַב עִמָּהּ--לְבַדּוֹ.	25 But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man take hold of her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die.
כו וְלַנַּעֲרָ לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה דָבָר, אֵין לַנַּעֲרָ חֵטְא מָוֶת: כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יָקוּם אִישׁ עַל-רֵעֵהוּ, וּרְצָחוֹ נֶפֶשׁ--כֵּן, הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה.	26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter.

Now what do we learn from the rotzeiach {murderer}? Rather, this come to teach and in turn learns. We connect a betrothed maiden to a murderer. Just as a murderer must be killed rather than violate, so must a betrothed maiden {let herself} be killed rather than violate. And just as a betrothed maiden may be saved by taking his {=the rapist's} life, so must the murderer be prevented by taking his {=the murderer's} life.

{Yoma 82b}
Bloodshed - it is logic. Like he who came before Rava. He said to him {Rava}: The ruler of my neighborhood told me, "kill Ploni and if not, I will kill you." He {=Rava} said to him: Let yourself be killed and do not kill him. Who says that your blood is redder? Perhaps your fellow's blood is redder.

A certain pregnant woman smelled {a smell on Yom Kippur and desired food}. They came before Rabbi {to inquire what to do}. He said to them, "Go and whisper in her ear that now is Yom Kippur." They whispered to her and she quieted down {and the infant inside her did not desire the food}. They called upon him {=the infant} the verse {Yirmiyahu 1:5}:

ה בְּטֶרֶם אצורך (אֶצָּרְךָ) בַבֶּטֶן יְדַעְתִּיךָ, וּבְטֶרֶם תֵּצֵא מֵרֶחֶם הִקְדַּשְׁתִּיךָ: נָבִיא לַגּוֹיִם, נְתַתִּיךָ.

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.

Rabbi Yochanan emerged from her.

A certain pregnant woman smelled {a smell on Yom Kippur and desired food}. They came before Rabbi Chanina. He said to whisper to her. They whispered to her and she did not quiet down. They called upon him {=the infant} the verse {Tehillim 58:4}

{Yoma 83a}

ד זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם; תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן, דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב.

4 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

Shabtai the hoarded of produce {who hoarded produce to raise their market value} emerged from her.

"A sick person, they feed him based on medical experts":
They said in the academy of Rabbi Yannai: If the sick person says "I need" and the doctor says he does not need, we listen to the sick person.
This is obvious! In case of danger to life we rule leniently! I would have said that when the sick person says "I need," he is merely expressing his fears, and he thinks "If I do not eat I will die." Therefore it informs us that {Mishlei 14:10}:

י לֵב--יוֹדֵעַ, מָרַּת נַפְשׁוֹ; וּבְשִׂמְחָתוֹ, לֹא-יִתְעָרַב זָר.

10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy no stranger can intermeddle.

If the sick person says "I do not need" and the doctor says that he needs, we listen to the doctor.
This is obvious! In case of danger to life we rule leniently! I would have said that לֵב--יוֹדֵעַ, מָרַּת נַפְשׁוֹ -- "the heart knoweth its own bitterness." Therefore it informs us that we listen to the doctor. And this that the sick person said "I do not need," this is a stupor that has seized him {because of his sickness}.

{My explanation of the following in curly braces:}
And even if he {the patient} and another {= a doctor} in accordance with him say that he does not need, and another two {doctors} say that he does need, we feel him on their basis. Even though we say that two are like one hundred and one hundred are like two, this is in terms of testimony, but in terms of estimation, we go after the majority of opinions.
