Then I trust you never have had, and never will have, any surgical procedure. And if you take any medicines at all, they are only natural substances.

Jesus voluntered to be beat, scourged, and suffer on a cross to save our life… that’s pretty un-natural. Was He wrong in doing such?

No, I posted the question which I had thought about awhle ago, thought about it again, and realized more, so posted more

There is nothing unnatural with using an electronic machine to right a question. It is unnatural to reject the organs which God gave you. To argue otherwise is to make a mockery of the teachings on contrception (which were clarified last night, I admitted I was wrong)

SO then, do you also feel it would be “unnatural” and therefore somehow “wrong” to have a hip or knee replacement, or to have a skin graft, or cosmetic surgery, or a blood transfusion?
 
I, personally, reject your argument. I think (and the CCC backs this up) that for someone to designate their organs to be donated to prolong a life when their own is over is a hugely generous thing to do. One of my sisters received an organ that saved her life. She would be dead about 12 years now without the organ transplantation.
Your argument that it is unnatural is wrong. The tissue being transplanted is being used as it was intended, though in a body other than the original. By your argument, blood transfusions should also be prohibited by the church. Perhaps you agree with Jehovah’s Witnesses on this? :confused: If so, what else that goes against Church teaching do you promote?
Selfless giving and compassion are never condemned by the Church, not even in the case of organ donation. I would suggest you open your heart AND mind a little.
