EWTN Catholic Q&A organ donations Question from jean robert on
08-22-2013:  what does the church teach about it.  Answer by
Richard Geraghty on 10-20-2013:  Dear Jean,  Organ donations are
permissible if they are done in the right way. The person has to
be dead before the organs are taken out. In some cases the donor
does not have to be dead as in the case of a person donating a
kidney to another person. Since humans usually two kidneys, the
operation is allowed.  Dr. Geraghty
