The recent demonstrations of oscillations in the atmospheric and solar neutrino data convincingly indicate that neutrinos do have mass. Those data however, do not tell us the absolute mass scale but only the differences of the square of the neutrino masses. Even so, we now know that at least one neutrino has a mass of about 50 meV or larger. Studies of double beta decay rates offer hope for determining the absolute mass scale. In particular, zero-neutrino double beta decay can address the issues of lepton number conservation, the particle-antiparticle nature of the neutrino, and its mass. The motivation for zero-neutrino double beta decay experiments and its relation to neutrino mass and oscillations will be discussed. The possibility of a National Underground Scientific Laboratory will greatly facilitate the experimental study of this field.
