Rabbi Steinsaltz discusses the permissibility of organ donation. He compares live-organ donation to deceased organ donation and considers the impact of the family's opinions on the decision to harvest organs. Rabbi Steinsaltz addresses the concern of some that organ donation will negatively impact resurrection of the deceased person in the future.

  • According to Chabad rabbi Y.Ginsburgh, it's OK to kill a gentile and take their organs if they will save the life of a Jew, as a Jewish life is infinitely more valuable and Jewish people are innately ethnically superior than gentiles.

    So it's kosher to buy one of the organs being sold by those Israelis who steal the organs from dead Palestinians and sell them on the cheap-side. They threw out the blood donated by black people in Israel as well, so don't worry about the organ being "dirty".

  • Rabbis should learn to be more concise and speak directly.

  • I don't believe in the resurrection of the dead but I am happy to see a highly respected Jewish Rabbi putting to rest the nonsense of refusing to donate organs after death for fear that you might be dammaged in the afterlife. Pikuach Nefesh, saving a life, is abrogates all but a few vital Torah laws.
