The International Society for Science and Religion has selected Matters of Life and Death 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 Matters of Life and Death Elliot Dorff thoroughly addresses this unavoidable confluence of medical technology and Jewish law and ethics. Elliot N. Dorff, Rabbi (Jewish Theological Seminary), PhD (Columbia University), is rector and Sol and Anne Dorff Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism) in Los Angeles. Among the twelve books he has written are four award-winning books on Jewish ethics and law published by The Jewish Publication Society: Matters of Life and Death (1998) on Jewish medical ethics; To Do the Right and the Good (2002) on Jewish social ethics; Love Your Neighbor and Yourself on Jewish personal ethics; and For the Love of God and People: A Philosophy of Jewish Law (2007). He has also edited 10 books, including Contemporary Jewish Ethics and Morality (Oxford, 1995) and Contemporary Jewish Theology (Oxford, 1999), co-edited by Louis Newman, who also co-edited with Dorff the first three volumes of the Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices series. Since 1984, Rabbi Dorff has served on the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, and has served as its Chair since 2007. He has also served on several federal advisory commissions dealing with the ethics of health care, sexual responsibility, and research on human subjects. He is a member of the State of California's Ethics Committee on embryonic stem cell research. He is married to Marlynn, and they have four children and seven grandchildren.

Good product with quality-control issues
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 31W x 31L
I really like these jeans. I own them in almost every color they offer, but the manufacturing consistency is hit or miss. The latest pair I bought has a much smaller pocket opening than the others. I also always order the same size (31×31), but when I got the red pair they were ridiculously long, more like a 31×36. And the first khaki pair I bought had pockets about half as deep as the rest. My iPhone would literally stick out of them. That said, for the price and overall look, they’re still a solid buy.

Mid jeans. Not bad but not amazing
The button is super wobbly and feels like itll break at any moment. The zipper quality also isnt great even when im not wearing them the zipper cant go above like 80% when I wear them itll slowly unzip if I twist or turn my body over a few hours. There's also not a lot of room for your bits so maybe go a size up. Other than that rhe material is comfy and has a bit of give so unlike other skinny jeans you dont feel restricted. The color is also super vibrant and lovely. Im not gonna return them unless the zipper breaks but idk if ill buy another pair if the button is like this.
