“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God” you are not your own.
“Corinthians 6:19”
“Transplanting organs could also mean that doctors are “playing god” which is a great sin; the organs in an individual body have been created specifically by God and should not be placed in another’s body as God has designed everything and everyone for a reason. Also transplant surgery causes a trade in human’s organs and many Christians are apprehensive with the moral issue of this.
Another reason for their opposition is that heart transplants require the heart to be removed before it causes to beat and this raises the question of “When someone is dead”. They also question whether or not surgeons who have a patient desperate for a transplant will work to the best of their ability to save the life of a potential donor.
Furthermore, some religious groups say that with the high prices of having transplant surgery, the money could instead be used for more religious matter such as giving aims and charity.
However the vast majority of Christians are in favour of transplant surgery, many Christians even carry donor cards in order to be donated to those in need the event of their death.
However these Christians object to rich people and surgeons, in MEDC’S buying organs from the poor. This is because
Christians who believe in the immorality of the soul believe that the body is not needed after death and therefore its organs can be used to help the living.
Christians, who believe in resurrection, believe st.pauls words that the body will be transformed and the resurrection body will not need physical organs.
Jesus told Christians that they should love their neighbours and does unto others as they would have done unto them and these both justify transplants.
