Abstract
The motivation, present status, and future plans of the search for betabeta(0nu) decay are reviewed. Recent observations of neutrino oscillations encourage the hope that betabeta(0nu) decay corresponding to the neutrino mass scale suggested by oscillations, m(nu) approximate to 50 meV, actually exists. The challenges to achieve the sensitivity corresponding to this mass scale, and plans to overcome them, are described.
