| contents | <p>The advancement of organ donation has <br>become a significant medical practice across <br>the globe. In Nigeria, as in other parts of the <br>world, Christianity, and other religious <br>beliefs, tends to shape attitudes to organ <br>donation, both on an individual and <br>communal level. This work examines the <br>practice on organ donation across several <br>Christian denominations in Nigeria - Roman <br>Catholicism, Anglicanism, Baptists, and <br>some Pentecostal teachings - within <br>theological and ethical frameworks, as well <br>as the Christian Church traditions pertaining <br>to the organ donation practice. In exploring <br>Christian teachings, the author examines <br>Christian theology, ethical discourse, and the <br>teachings of other faiths and denominations <br>within the context of ethical reasoning. A <br>further discourse on Christian life and <br>teachings spans the ethical discourse of the <br>organ donation practice—the teachings on <br>the sanctity of life, and the ethical tension <br>within life donation—the balance between <br>autonomy and coercion. Most traditions <br>within Christianity in Nigeria tend to <br>embrace forcible organ donation as an act of <br>charity, hence the donation and doctrines <br>embrace donation within the practice. The <br>author presents the harmonization of health <br>and faith as a guide to develop policy, ethics <br>in medicine, theological education, and <br>research. </p> |
