Just stating the obvious. If it’s really religion banning donating organs, not only do they take bodily autonomy from you but also the chance to help save someone else’s life. That would be a shitty religion
The religion can’t “ban” you, they don’t have governmental authority or a police force. The person chooses to participate and chooses not to donate. Unless they live in a particularly authoritarian theocracy it is likely this is a choice.
I disagree entirely with their decision but it’s important to not wildly mischaracterize it as not a decision. They can be an organ donor if they want and live their lives if they choose.
Yeah I mean of course they (usually) can’t force you, but you’d go with religion’s guidelines because you trust on the authority and peer pressure, potentially also threatened with eternal damnation of some sort.
I am curious, what are your religious beliefs on this? And would you be willing to accept a donated organ to save your life?
I am not sure why you are getting downvoted for answering the question. Yes, lemmy tends to have fewer religious people, but it’s upsetting that others are quick to downvote anyone expressing their religious beliefs. Personally I am agnostic, however I respect that everyone has the right to their beliefs.
No. Religious reasons
That’s a shitty religion then
I think we can be a little more respectful in our disagreement no?

The religion bans desecrating corpses, which includes dissection. Donating organs while alive is Ok
I stand with my original statement, if the religion favors dead over the living.

Didn’t say it was a fair fight
