Moral Issues

Organ Transplants

and the Definition of Death

Jones OP, David Albert

What the Catholic Church teaches on organ transplantation and why

Transplant medicine transfers living tissue from one part of a body to another to restore or assist its healthy functioning. It is not easily assessed morally: it involves receiving an organ, taking organs from dead bodies or from donors, finding new organs, and sharing out organs and costs.
This booklet outlines the main questions and concerns, explains Catholic teaching and systematically grapples with particularly difficult questions. It is written in clear, accessible language, with directions for further reading, and a full glossary.
