The Gift of a Life: Religion and Organ Donation

Organ donation is an act of individual will, but donors often ask the question - "Does my religion approve?" Different religions often have different moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with their beliefs.
When it comes to organ donation,the majority of religions actually encourage organ donation.
From Amish to Catholicism, they feel that it is a generous act of charity.
One of the largest religions that welcomes organ donation is the United Methodists.
This church is aware of the meaning behind donating your organs.
By allowing doctors to use your body parts if something were to happen to you, you could help a victim that is relying on organ transplant to give them hope for a better future.
Tthe good deed is not only accepted but also encouraged by the church; thus they frequently encourage members to sign up for donation.
Other religions including Catholicism also feel that organ donation is an act of kindness.
You are going out of your way to change someone's entire life, even if that means giving up part of your self.
In their eyes, it is a graceful and beautiful exchange, which only the giving will agree to.
Although it is a personal choice, they do feel that it is one of the best deeds you can do for someone else.
On the other hand, there are religions that feel organ donations should only go so far.
If you are helping out another person for their well being, donating your organs is wonderful.
However, some people feel that if you are donating your body to science, this is an entirely different ball game.
By donating your body for experiments, you are not helping someone else's life or saving a heart or a liver.
In their opinion, it is certainly a fine line between what is right and what is wrong.
Donating your body to science may be controversial, but still a great amount of religions believe that it is all based on personal choice.
If you are fine with body donation, you could end up saving lives in the long run.
By allowing doctors to use your body as an experiment for potential cures, medicines, and so forth, you could be saving the entire world from a hazardous disease.
The advance in medicines and medical research depend on the deep understanding of our body.
If organ donation for transplant saves one life, whole body donation for science and medical research may save thousands in long run.
