Most Christians agree with transplant surgery however some are opposed
to transplant surgery. They disagree with using organs from dead
people but accept using organs as donated by living relatives. Jews
have a similar view to Christians on this matter. Muslims however are
totally opposed to it some Muslims do allow transplant surgery using
organs from a living donor as long as the donor is a close relative.
More Hindus are for transplant surgery than against and mainly will
carry donor cards.
Christians that are opposed to transplant surgery believe that
transplants can ignore the sanctity of life, God created us in his
image so transplanting organs means you interfering with what God
intended and therefore “playing God”. Organs cannot be paid for
because this is exploiting the poor which is strictly forbidden in the
Bible.
The majority of Muslims are opposed to transplant surgery because the
Muslim belief in the sanctity of life means that all life belongs to
God and that God is the only on who has the right to take life. In the
Qu’ran the Muslim holly book, it says that God has created the entire
body so to take parts or organs from one body and transplant it into
another is to act as God. To act as God is the greatest sin in Islam
so you can see how the majority of transplant surgery is strictly
forbidden. As well as this the Shari’ah another Muslim holly book
teaches that after death nothing should be removed from the body. They
are also totally opposed to post-mortems. Muslims have very specific
death rituals this is why this is extremely important and therefore
organs should not be removed from Muslims that have passed away. Due
to Muslims being so opposed to transplant surgery they would also
agree with any none religious arguments against transplants.
The few Jews, which are against transplant surgery, have similar
reasons to Muslim beliefs. They also believe that we’ve God has
created the entire body so to transplant organs is playing God.

When viewing organ donation from a moral standpoint we come across many different views depending on the ethical theory. The controversy lies between what is the underlying value and what act is right or wrong. Deciding what is best for both parties and acting out of virtue and not selfishness is another debatable belief. Viewing Kant and Utilitarianism theories we can determine what they would have thought on organ donation. Although it seems judicious, there are professionals who seek the attention to be famous and the first to accomplish something. Although we are responsible for ourselves and our children, the motives of a professional can seem genuine when we are in desperate times which in fact are the opposite. When faced with a decision about our or our children’s life and well being we may be a little naïve. The decisions the patients who were essentially guinea pigs for the first transplants and organ donation saw no other options since they were dying anyways. Although these doctors saw this as an opportunity to be the first one to do this and be famous they also helped further our medical technology. The debate is if they did it with all good ethical reasoning. Of course they had to do it on someone and preying upon the sick and dying was their only choice. Therefore we are responsible for our own health but when it is compromised the decisions we make can also be compromised.
Organ transplantation is apperceived as one of the most prehending achievements for preserving life in medical history. This procedure provides a means of giving life to patience’s who suffer from terminal organ failure, which requires the participation of individuals; living or deceased, to donate their organs for the more preponderant good of society.

In this paper I will be using the normative theory of utilitarianism as the best defensible approach to increase organ donations. Utilitarianism is a theory that seeks to increase the greatest good for the greatest amount of people (Pense2007, 61). The utilitarian theory is the best approach because it maximizes adult organ donations (which are the greater good) so that the number of lives saved would increase along with the quality of life, and also saves money and time.
The use of organs from executed prisoners is censured by the United Network for Organ Sharing, which guides organ donation policies in the United States. The group denounced the practice in 2007 and hasn’t budged on the matter. Living prisoners may be allowed to donate organs, but it’s decided on a case-by-case basis at the state and federal levels, officials say. Typically such donations are limited to immediate family members when there’s a confirmed organ match, with the inmate and recipient’s families agreeing to foot the bill for all medical and security costs.
Organ donation is the process of giving an organ, or a part of an organ, to someone in need of it while the donor is dead or alive. However, if the donor is dead, he or she needs to be kept alive by doctors who use machines that circulate blood and oxygen through the organs until they are harvested.
