Healthcare

Nowadays , healthcare practitioner 's especially in nursing faces lots of ethical issues and they will still be facing in the future and the more when the technology is getting more developed . One of which is the Organ Transplantations . Organ Transplantation is very rampant especially in countries with rising technologies in health care . If a certain family needs the organ but does not win in the bidding being done , then they would not get the organ

We can not deny that Organ Donation is a means of showing love and concern

Whatever reasoning is being done still it violates God 's laws . It does not respect the human lives . Nurses are compromising the Sanctity of Human Life . Nurses are sandwiched in the perspective of the rising technology of this world and Heavenly laws

Many ethicists find it so immoral to sell an organ because for them God gave it to you and He entrusted it to you and for you . Therefore , as stewards we should do anything that could break the real purpose of God in us
