Mormon teachings on organ donation.
Nurses on the ward©
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaves decisions about organ donation and transplantation entirely up to the individual to decide.
In any moral or medical situation the church would encourage an individual to consider their decision prayerfully.
Organ donation should be for the benefit of others and not for personal gain.
The decision to donate is an individual one that should be made in conjunction with family, medical advisors and prayer.
Whatever the individual's decision is, it should engender a feeling of peace and comfort.
