Donating Organs in Islam and Judaism

[MDOmaha]

Hi,
I am presenting a paper on organ transplantation amongst various religious groups. Does anybody have any information on how Muslims and Jews view organ transplantation? Also, any sources dealing with either of these issues would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi MDomaha,
I think you will find all the information you need on the Islamic view of Organ donation from this website below:

www.amoraorgan.org

This website is for the American Muslim Organ Recovery Agency (AMORA) which oversees the transfer of organs to needy people throughout the United States. The website has a wealth of information on the subject and provides scholarly as well as medically authoritative information on the permissibility of organ transplantation and donation in Islam. There are also very helpful links on this website. I hope this helps.
