Organ Donation

Re: Organ Donation

It is haram in Islam but to save lives, haram becomes halal. Bottom line is, organ/blood donation is only allowed when its a matter of life and death.

A great view :k:

okay…okay…the question still stands…what if the organ being transplanted is not critical for life but would make the quality of life better for the living person?

So.....in the case of donation for the purpose of study/learning.....from your explanation that would be haram, correct?

And if someone needed eyes and I passed away donating them....would they be defying Islam by accepting them since they can still live without sight?

No muzna, you got it wrong. If I am blind, my life is under a constant threat as I cant see what I am doing. Its a matter of life and death.

On the other hand, if you donate your skin to me so I replace that bloated patch on my back or I take your blood cause I was generally feeling weak, or I get a toe transplant only for the cosmetic reasons then that is not allowed.

You assume good intentions, there are people who have severe issues due to massive burns and skin grafts are needed.

i dont think its only for life saving, but for quality of life as well.

heck I would not even mind having my face taken for face transplant for someone who was disfigured due to accident or something else.. although after looking at the new face they may want to go back to the original one, but thats a diff point.

but seriously a girl who has been a victim of acid attack, a face transplant would mean so much for her to leave a more normal existence, it will not make things the way they were, but if a girl's donated skin/face can give the victim a chance at a better life, why not?

Now you can put many conditions around your donation, as much as you think is sensible and can be honored, but the abuse issue in itself does not cancel out benefits of organ donation

Skin grafting, face transplant because of disfigured face is a matter of life and death in a way. One has the lowest quality of life if one is living with a disfigured face.

And I agree, once you become an organ donor, you cant put conditions and abuse can happen. But just to clarify, I am not against organ donation. I am just stating the Islamic stand point, in fact clarifying the myth that organ donation is a big NO in Islam, as its not.

But is this manner so much can be justified.....
