Ethics

Ethics in Shinto
A follower of Shinto will try to live in accordance with the way of the kami, and in such a way as to keep the relationship with the kami on a proper footing.
Organ donation
Shinto traditions also state that interfering with a corpse brings bad luck and so organ transplants are comparatively rare in Japan.
