Religion and Donation
Religious belief plays an important role as a family considers donation. Most major religions support and encourage donation. Many people are unaware
of the position their faith takes regarding donation. If questions arise, please speak to your family minister.
Some religions that fully support transplant donation:
| African Methodist Episcopalian | Assembly of God | Baptist |
| Buddhist | Episcopal | Hindu |
| Evangelical | Judaic | Latter Day Saints (Mormon) |
| Lutheran | Mennonite | Presbyterian |
| Quakers | Roman Catholic | Unitarian |
| Seventh-Day Adventist | United Methodist |
Eye tissue donation is a humanitarian gift. A grieving family can be comforted by knowing donation will provide the Gift of Sight to another.
Donation affirms the fundamental humanity and generosity of the donor. When the entire donation process is handled with care and sensitivity, the donor’s family can achieve important immediate and long-term benefits.
