1 To use group work, media clips and real life scenarios to understand what Christians believe about organ donation.

2 Grade C All will be able to SELECT Christians arguments both for and against organ donation. Grade B Most will be able to EXPLAIN how Christians might respond to the various real life scenarios. Grade A/A* Some will be able to GIVE AN OPINION on each of the scenarios explaining if they agree or disagree with Christian views.

3 Is organ donation heroic? If so who is heroic? (the person who donates, the donators family?) Is it equally as brave if someone who is alive donates an organ or marrow?

4 How should Christians view organ donation according to the POPE? What do you think he means by morally acceptable? There is an everyday heroism, made up of gestures and sharing, big and small... A particularly praiseworthy example of such gestures is the donation of organs in a morally acceptable manor.

5 In groups of 4... Put the body parts on the body in the correct order. They must be put into the body in the correct place. What do you notice about all the body parts you have been given?

6 Each body part contains information about Christian beliefs on organ donation. Arrange these organs into arguments for organ donation and arguments against.

7 Most Christians agree with organ donation because... Some Christians disagree with organ donation because... It is a loving and charitable act which fulfils Jesus teaching to love one another. It raises no problems for life after death as the body is not needed in heaven. It is a way people can show their gratitude for God s gift of life. It violates the sanctity of life and people should not play God. The organs are an essential part of an individual which God has created and it would be wrong to replace a part of that person. It is interfering with God s plans for each individual. Christian views can also depend on WHY a persons organs need replacing. Some Christians disagree with replacing an organ that has been damaged because the person has abused their own body that God created! Also Christians will only agree with organ donation if it is done in a responsible way that reflects loving charity.

13 SHOULD ALCOHOLICS GET LIVER TRANSPLANTS? The failure of footballer George Best to refrain from drinking alcohol despite a life-saving liver transplant just 12 months ago has prompted questions about the merits of offering transplant surgery to alcoholics. Some say it is a waste of a precious and scarce resource, but others say there is no reason why people suffering from such a debilitating disease should be discriminated against.

15 Every day is Thanksgiving for Tim and Heather Tickal and their family. The Mason City couple s 7-year-old daughter, Bailey, who was born with kidney disease and was given only a chance of survival, received a kidney transplant five years ago today from her grandmother, Helen Bunting of Rudd. Bailey, who couldn t walk without a walker and was behind on talking before the transplant, now is enjoying being a first-grader at Hoover Elementary School and playing on the monkey bars. The outgoing little girl also has caught up on her speaking skills and then some. She s quite the miracle, Bunting said. The family likes to joke that Bailey got her orneryness from her grandmother s kidney.
