Agreat example of being selfish, to deny someone else possible life. Look at it this way, to donate an organ for someone else to live means a part of you also lives on.
“A great example of being selfish...”
Selfish? If you choose to donate your organs, skin... body to science then goody for you. You don’t know NoGrayZone; therefore, you have no right to label someone as selfish. You aren’t doing anything to further organ procurement... in fact, you are only harming your cause by insulting other people.
Please show me a scripture that states we must give our body parts upon our death. And who says MY body parts would allow someone else to live? The only One who grants such a thing is He. NOT me, nor you, but He.
"to donate an organ for someone else to live means a part of you also lives on."
Once I'm dead, I'm NOT supposed to "live on". I'm DEAD. The dead are aware of nothing!
Personally I find it creepy for someone else to have one of my body parts "living on" when I am DEAD.
There is MUCH about Orthodox burial you have no clue about, so I will refrain from elaborating further. Suffice it to say that I would gladly donate any piece or part of me that wouldn’t kill me to save someone else’s life...and have done so.
Why wait until you are dead? Isn’t that just as selfish as you claim we are?
