Re: .....Organ Donation??What are your THOUGHTS?
Its truly a noble thing to sign a donor card and to donate organs after your death. There is a misconception at times I think in Islaam that makes Muslims think its not allowed but truly I think it is. How on earth could it be forbidden - to be able to give life or give sight to another once you have passed on?
It also brings to mind some of the religions that forbid not only this but ANY medical procedure which introduces any other human product into the body. I'll never forget one time I was 19 or 20 and having my annual physical. The doc was called to talk to the mother of another patient who needed life-saving surgery and blood during the surgery. The parent, a Jehovah's Witness, informed the doc that the surgery would not take place as it was against her religion. The doc was almost in tears pleading with this mother to save the life of her child. The mother did not give in and I never heard about them but I think the kid probably died, it sounded like thats what would happen.
God gave us brains, yeah? He gave us brains to figure things out and once we do and once we're able to perform life-saving or life-giving miracles IMHO its a sin to deny it.
