        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

            I stand with my original statement, if the religion favors dead over the living.

          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.
