Christianity and Transplant Surgery

SOME CHRISTIANS AGREE BECAUSE

• The body is not need after death
• "Love thy neighbour" is what Jesus taught them and by donating an organ after you die is a way of loving your neighbour
• The golden rule
• Christians are AGAINST paying for organs as it could lead to people being exploited

SOME CHRISTIANS ARE AGAINST BECAUSE

• It's playing God!
• Some Catholics believe that the whole body is resurrected on Judgement Day therefore, organs are needed!
• The heart for example is an intristic part of the body which determines whether somebody is dead or not
