Flesh of My Flesh:
Organ Transplants in Jewish Law

In spring 2020 the 'Max and Keira's Law' will go into affect and all adults in England will be considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless you specifically opted out.

What is the Jewish view on organ transplants?

Does Jewish law allow the donation of organs, either from a live donor or one who is deceased?
How do we define the moment of death?
Do we have the authority to give a body part away?
Might it go further, actively encouraging or even morally compelling one to donate?

A nuanced and compassionate look at the sensitive ethical issues governing organ donation.

Join us as we explore age old wisdom and contemporary Jewish sources on the ethical quandaries of the 21st century.
