One of the most dramatic developments of modern medicine is the solid-organ transplant. This development creates for families the difficult choice whether or not they should donate the viable organs of a family member who has died. The emotional aspects that follow death may complicate the decision-making process; yet, the situation demands a timely decision. The purpose of this project is: 1) to examine the ethical and theological issues involved in the decision, and 2) to develop a guide that provides the essential facts and considerations which any patient or family member should reflect on in the decision-making process. The study is limited to an investigation of organs suitable for transplantation and to considerations that face the potential donor or consenting family member. It proposes a Christian theological viewpoint that supports the donation of organs that are still viable for transplant. It does not examine in detail a Christian ethic for transplantation.
