<P>The International Society for Science and Religion has selected <I>Matters of Life and Death</I> as an element of the ISSR Library. The mission of the ISSR Library is "to provide a comprehensive resource for scholars, students, and interested lay readers in the area of science and the human spirit.” The incredible medical breakthroughs of today, like genetic engineering, in-vitro fertilizations, and cloning have transformed long-held beliefs on the nature of both life and death, raising difficult moral and religious questions. In <I>Matters of Life and Death</I> Elliot Dorff thoroughly addresses this unavoidable confluence of medical technology and Jewish law and ethics.
