ORGAN DONATION

A very modern charity is to donate organs for transplants. "Organ donation after death is a noble and meritorious act, which must be encouraged"

Donating the body to another person can receive a usable body is a charity we should do all. Gino Concetti in the Osservatore Romano, commonly known as "the newspaper of the Pope, October 27, 1997, said:" Organ donation is indeed a heroic act of charity, "says the theologian." Whoever performs is conforms more closely to Christ, who gave his life a ransom for all. “It would be good to bring together the national identity card, a signed paper which is made usable every organ donation after death. Currently you can request a donor card in Ambulatory Nursing and Social Security. This facilitates the management, because the donor is contained in the files of Social Security.

Logically, the sacred texts of the main and most ancient religions could never imagine that the donation of organs for transplants reached the current development. Why are the religious leaders over the past four decades, who have performed their sacred writings, recognizing the majority of the donation and transplantation is not in any way contravene the spirit of its rules and commandments. (U.S. Statement On Prison Status and Organ Allocation, 127)Seventh-day Adventists: Encourage strongly the donation and transplantation. Seventh Day Adventists have many transplant hospitals, and believe that the decision to donate is personal. AME and AME Zion (African Methodist Episcopal): Them as acts of love and charity organ and tissue donation. Encourage all members for their support, donations in order to help others.
