Ethical-christian views on transplantation of organs

Luka Tomašević ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Split

Abstract

This article deals with transplantation of organs in general,
in the world and here with us.
The authors integrate it into a delicate problem area connected
with death and taking of organs. They refer to technical-scientific
achievements of transplantation as well as to its legal
regulation in Croatia today.
A large part of the work is dedicated to transplantation itself
in Croatia, its history and current situation; then the ethical-
Christian views of the Catholic Church are given, and also, briefly,
the opinions of Christian religions and other religions.
In the second part of the article the authors present the
believers’ views which were reached through the investigation
carried out by MA Pelčić and which could be very useful in pastoral
practice.
