"[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."
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.
