You do know that most organ donors are sent to medical schools as cadavers, do you not?

This has never been the case. Completely different thing. The bodies dissected in medical schools came from people who donated their bodies to scientific research, not people who gave permission to donate their organs. And once the heart, lungs, liver etc had been taken out, a body wouldn't be much use for dissecting by medical students, would it?

In the UK, very few if any medical schools use real bodies now anyway. Students learn their anatomy by "virtual" dissection using computers.

What is the Christian Biblically based view on this i wonder? If there is one. Such a thing was surely not thought of centuries ago? But as Christians, have we any indication of what is right in this matter? 

Some Christians might feel that taking into their bodies any tissue or body part from another human is cannibalistic. Sadly, there was one case mentioned in the Bible of cannibalism and of course, it was viewed with horror (see 2 Kings 6:24-30).

Other Christians may feel that the Bible does not definitely rule out medical transplants of human organs. They may reason that in some cases the human material is not expected to become a permanent part of the recipient’s body. Body cells are said to be replaced about every seven years, and this would be true of any human body parts that would be transplanted.

Clearly, personal views and conscientious feelings vary on this issue of transplantation. It is well known that the use of human materials for human consumption varies all the way from minor items, such as hormones and corneas, to major organs, such as kidneys and hearts. For this reason, each individual faced with making a decision on this matter should carefully and prayerfully weigh matters and then decide conscientiously what he or she could or could not do before God. It is a matter for personal decision (see Galations 6:5).

My daughter's mother in law had a kidney transplant. It is expected to last 15 years.

She won't be regenerating a new kidney in 7 years, that is not how most transplantation works.

so how would phrase the warning label :noidea: 

i vwas 13 years old and the doctor had me set on the side of the bed and literally nose to nose looking me directually in the eyes telling me nit to give blood and could kill someone if i did.  three weeks prior he had told my parents that i had a 50-50 chance to survive the infection.  they did not know i could hear as far as i know.

 

I guess i could tattoo my butt that using body parts could result in serious harm or death.

Did you know? Now you must opt out if you wish. 

I have opted out - easy to do on-line. I just cannot bear the idea of my organs being used and i do not want anyone else's. When my time comes i will go. This is my personal feeling. 

What is the Christian Biblically based view on this i wonder? If there is one. Such a thing was surely not thought of centuries ago? But as Christians, have we any indication of what is right in this matter? 

So I have kind of flip flopped on this.   This response won't be super Biblical, but there is no prohibition on organ donation.

Basically, I started off believing, heck no, I'm not going to donate organs and such.

And I had that view for years.  But in the last decades, I have gone the other way.

In the end, I remembered 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 where it says your body is not your own.  And I just thought, what if the donation of my organ, allows another human being to live long enough to find Christ?

And honestly, we're dust.  We were born from dust, and we'll return to dust.  Once I'm dead, this ridiculous body is not of any value to me.  So why not let them have it?   Does it really matter in the long run? 

Who knows.  Perhaps someday we'll get to Heaven, and find some people who said they likely would be in Hell, had it not been for the fact an organ transplant let them live another 10 years, and they met the Lord Jesus during that time?

Put another way... Ravi Zacharias recently went on home.  But if he had only needed an organ transplant, to spend another 10 years spreading the good news and truth of Christ to the world... well... you tell me.  Would it have been a good thing?

I just go by my instinct. I feel i will live as long as God wills. I am also very squeamish! I cannot bear the idea of my organs in anyone else or vice versa. I would give blood if it meant life to another. 

In principle blood or organ donation is a noble wonderful thing to do - but for me i have a horror of it. When living persons donate a kidney, that is a massively noble act. But it is a very major operation and risk. It is for the very brave. Not a coward like me. 

I have a feeling if i was lying in a coma, some younger person might be in need and thus my life might be ended sooner! 

Jehovah's Witnesses i think are mistaken. Giving blood is a noble act of love. How could that be wrong? But that is a whole other subject. 

My point for this topic was to point out the UK law says yiu will donate your organs unless you opt out. This horrified me so i have opted out. It is a very personal choice of course.

I decided on my drivers license to be a donor. After reading all this I feel not so sure ?. I don’t want to be a cadaver in a lab!  My other fear was they might not revive me or whatever if organs are to be had. Well, huh. As of now I’m a donor.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
