Matters of Life and Death
A Jewish Approach to Modern Medical Ethics
by Elliot N. Dorff
In Matters of Life and Death, Dr. Elliot Dorff addresses this unavoidable confluence of medical technology and Jewish law and ethics. Dr. Dorff, who has been studying and consulting on biomedical ethics for more than thirty years, discusses modern medical ethical dilemmas from a specifically Conservative Jewish point of view.
He includes issues such as artificial insemination, genetic engineering, cloning, surrogate motherhood, and birth control, as well as living wills, hospice care, euthanasia, organ donation, and autopsy.
