Organ Donation
Question
Regarding the new halachic Adi card, is it possible to donate only certain organs: kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas, lungs, corneas, bones, skin, heart?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
This requires halachic approval and supervision by the great poskim of our generation.
I do not think this is the case at the moment.
These are decisions involving murder on one side [from the donor's side], and saving a life on the other side [from the recipient's side]. Not every rabbi can issue rulings on such a weighty matter.
