Thank you for the information regarding organ transplantation, both live and cadaver. I plan to use the information in our study group. We have a group who have been discussing life cycle events and related subjects from a Jewish view. The points you have made are indeed open to discussion.

Hello again,
I am now 51 and received my double-lung transplant approximately one year ago. B'H' I am alive and well to tell the tale and all I would like to add in this response is that I cannot help believe it is a precious gift we give to save a life, while following all the rules that the Torah commands. As a Jew, as an organ recipient whose life was saved, I certainly hope there is "an across the board" agreement, soon, on what is the right thing to do. May we all be able to save a life or help save a life in any way we can.

As a young woman with a disease that will eventually necessitate the use of a feeding tube, this was a very relevant class for me. This topic has been weighing on my mind a great deal lately, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to hear such wise words. Thank you Rabbi Breitowitz for the gift of your knowledge, and Chabad.org for always having such wonderful resources available! :)
