Abstract
"Nine years ago I ran a workshop on organ transplantation at a Lutherans For Life conference. I recall being asked : "Is this Christian? Is it Lutheran? Is it morally right?" In my opinion the short answer to all three questions is Yes. Perhaps one might claim a scriptural precedent, given that our Lord performed the first-ever human tissue transplant when he removed a rib from Adam in order to create Eve (Genesis 2:22)."
