Review
"[A] well-organized and comprehensively researched volume. The variety of sourcing from classic and contemporary Jewish scholars in theology, ethics, history, and law, along with the extensive bibliography and well-done index, render this work eminently useful."
From the Publisher
1998 National Jewish Book Award Finalist!
The incredible medical breakthroughs of today, like genetic engineering, invitro fertilization, and cloning have transformed long-held beliefs on the nature of both life and death; they raise difficult moral and religious questions. In Matters of Life and Death Elliot Dorff addresses the unavoidable confluence of medical technology and Jewish law and ethics. The author, a Conservative rabbi, served as a member of Hillary Rodham Clinton's 1993 task force on health care.
