Judaism and Transplant Surgery
SOME JEWS AGREE WITH TRANSPLANT SURGERY FROM A LIVING DONOR BECAUSE:
- Organs that aren't vital can be used in transplant surgery b'cos it does not affect the mitzvah which says " to preserve life"
- Transplanting dead organs is wrong, as it "playing god"
- Judaism teaches to show love for thy neighbour, and by donating a living organ is an example of this
SOME JEWS ARE AGAINST TRANSPLANT SURGERY BECAUSE:
- Organs created by God for an individual cannot be placed in somebody else
- It's "playing god!"
- It would affect somebodies Jewishness if they accepted an organ from a non Jew
- It is breaking the law of a sanctity of life
