1. Medical murder and iorgan cannibalism is the law of the
Rivkah   (03.25.08)
land in many nations. It is such a lucrative business, nearly a half million dollars can be made on body parts from one body. Such goul. It is better for such laws not to be enacted than for the authority of God to be misused. There is no power or authority except of God, King David said. Legally authorizing organ cannibalism and medical murder is an afront to the Lord and will be punished by God if such authority is misused which it will be.
2. # 1 Rivka what about saving the life of your fellow jew
Simon ,   TA Israel   (03.25.08)
One wonders just how many people have died while these so called religious authorities have been dragging their feet? Surely it is a mitvah to save the life of your fellow jew or country man?
3. Many MKs already qualify
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (03.25.08)
First law approves benefits to organ donors, second defines brain death as an acceptable indication of death I wonder who got Olmert's brain and Baraks testicles? We know that Shas has the coalition by the testicles
4. Israel's
Miriam ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
secular government is tops in immorality and filth and in anything that's against Torah. According to the rate of these G-dless people, they will do a better job in the sale of human organs than China. Wait and see!
5. # 4, Miriam tell me seriously
Simon ,   TA Israel   (03.25.08)
Miriam , tell me serioulsy do you honestly believe just because some one (jewish) does not believe or live by your religous beliefs therefore is immoral and filth? Just listen to your own words. You are talking about your fellow jews here. Why dont you work on bridinging the gap between religious and secular instead of fanning the flames of hatred. No wonder people are turning away from religion as you my dear are hardly an amabassador for religion.
6. #3 Not only many Mks, but also many political leaders
(03.25.08)
qualify for receiving brain transplantation.
7. #2- Pikuach Nefesh is a Rabbinic Law
LEE ,   NY, USA   (03.25.08)
The mitzvah (commandment, not just good deed) to save the life of a fellow Jew has been ingrained in us throughout the centuries in great part due to the Rabbis. So it would be nice to thank them rather then insult them. And before we take a vital organ out of a person, it would first seem more ethical, in accordance with the demands of the Torah, that we make sure that that person is indeed dead. The Torah/Rabbinic considerations are very complicated specifically because they are so sensitive to life- that of the donor and that of the recipient. And by the way, the Torah Law is often pretty lenient when it deals with organs that do not risk the life of the donor. In this field, the sensitivity of the Law towards saving life, in accordance with the Rabbinic teachings, is abundantly clear. Their caution with every Halacha here should be praised, not ridiculed.

Jews. There is a wonderful science of organ transplants that have saved many, but that does not justify murdering the donor to get his/her organs which is happening all over the world. A Jewish doctor by the name of Dr. Bill Deagle (M.D.) who spoke for the Prophecy Club of Topeka, Kansas, said he left Canadian medicine because of the murders of aborted babies born alive for organ donations and the murder of adults for organ donations he would not participate in or sanction and could do nothing to punish the murderers since the government protected them. He said a forty year old father was brought into the emergency room of a hospital he worked at with a SIMPLE CONCUSSION from falling and hitting his head on a coffee table and would have recovered. To make some money for the hospital, the doctor told the family it was hopeless when it was anything but that. They agreed to euthanize him and donate his organs for transplant. That is murder...mass murder. People are infected with pneumonia is hospitals and then not given effective treatment so their organs can be harvested. A former nurse named Muriel Robinson told me that when she was a nurse at USC-Los Angeles County Hospital before she married, she infected the elderly with pneumonia because "pneumonia is the old person's friend." I reported her confession of mass murder to the FBI and they did NOTHING. Do you think people should be saved at the price of murdering someone to save them? Murder is killing with malice and forethought without the legal authority to do so. It is breaking the Commandment Thou Shalt Not Murder. English translators put the word kill for murder in the Commandment, erroneously. It is all right to kill when that is lawful in war or by civil authority or in self defense. But to murder for a body part? No. Jews should not want the body parts of a person murdered for that purpose. Let me tell you how transplanted body parts affect the recipient. A murdered woman's heart was put into another person. The person who received the heart then began living a nightmare of seeing the murder of the woman again and again. Going to the police, the recipient of the heart described the murderer and he was apprehended from that description. That is well and good, but the police will not charge or arrest the physicians who murder with impunity. No one was arrested when my mother was first infected with pneumonia and then murdered in a hospital for body parts. No one was arrested when my mother in law was infected with pneumonia for body parts in a nursing home. I warned them not to sign organ donor cards.
9. For those interested in this fascinating subject:
LEE ,   NY, USA   (03.25.08)
then link to this site. Dr. Rabbi Akiva Tatz is an extremely interesting and pleasant lecturer. When you get to the site, scroll down to the Medical Halacha section and you will find a few lectures on the topic of transplants and organ donations. Its really mind-opening. http://www.simpletoremember.com/audio/Rabbi_Akiva_Tatz.html Enjoy!
10. #2 Your personal opinion vs. Halachah
Miriam ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
Your opinion is to save a life of a fellow Jew even if it means killing another Jew for that. The Jewish halacha according to the Posek Hador, Rabbi Eliashiv: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=14697 Letter from HaRav Eliashiv shlita about Brain Death I hereby reiterate my opinion, which I put on record on the eighteenth of Menachem Av 5751, that according to our holy Torah, as long as the heart beats, even though the patient has suffered brain death, there is no license whatsoever to remove any organ from his body. May Hashem yisborach repair our nation’s breaches. (signed) Yosef Sholom Eliashiv
11. So this means that the organs of Olmert who is brain dead
Miriam ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
is up for grabs. Probably many more organs in the Israeli braind dead government can be used. What an historical move!

Can you prove these allegations, or are they just your opinion? Making statements without proof is often subject to lawsuits for libel, slander or defamation.

15. 12 Michael: You can obtain speeches by Dr. Bill Deagle
Rivkah   (03.26.08)
from the Prophecy Club of Topeka, Kansas, to verify my references to him. The situation is far worse than I have indicated. Muriel Robinson of Lemoore, California, personally confessed to mass murder to me and I called the FBI since knowing such a thing without reporting it could be called being an accessory to the crimes. The FBI did nothing which is what is usually done when medical workers murder patients. Unless there are 20 to 30 deaths that are abnormal and reported to the police, nothing is done, particularly if the patients are elderly. The FBI did nothing about a professed mass murderess and the police I called told me the people were old and would have died, anyway. Muriel Robinson's husband Don also believes in euthanasia without consent and may be responsible for many murders in Navy hospitals he was stationed at over the decades. Dr. Kevorkian, Dr. Death, went to prison for putting patients to death; but that is rare. My mother and my mother in law went to hospitals in different years and both went to the hospitals WITHOUT pneumonia. Both were infected with pneumonia by hospital workers who did not wash their hands between patients. How else would they get it with all the filters in hospitals? When I was a pharmacist in the US Navy in the 1970's, nurses at times gave potassium chloride to patients intramuscularly instead of diluting it and giving it intravenously. Given undiluted untramuscularly causes a heart attack and the patient dies because the code blue team cannot get to the patient fast enough for a KCl induced heart attack. It was ALWAYS admitted and was ALWAYS DESCRIBED as a terrible mistake even though the vials are clearly labeled not for IM use. I personally think a lot of vendettas are carried out at hospitals because it is so easy to cover up the murders and autopsies are not required on patients who die in hospital as they are on patients who die outside of hospitals, at home for example. You must be young and not too burned by the system or the loss of loved ones to be so naive. Why would I make up such things. Real life is a horror story you obviously and thankfully have been sheltered from. Milk is for babes and meat is for the fully grown, spiritually and emotionally. There have been many attempts on my life by medical workers that the Lord delivered me from. It is a sport, pal. Such occupations draw sociopaths because they can harm people and get away with it, feeding their blood lust. Go to Dr. Lorraine Day's website at www.drday.com and see what physicians tried to do to her even though she is a physician. She knows how to get metastatic cancer into remission with FOOD with no toxic effects. That jeoparizes the 40 million dollars a year the American Cancer Society staff pull in each year and their opulent lifestyle. She is attacked quite often for her views the medical profession wants to withold from the public. Dr. Day says mamograms CAUSE CANCER. When a radiologist opens his/her office, the insurance in America is $250,000. a year and that does not include office costs or his salary. Radiologists in a survey in Canada said they would not use chemo or radiation on themselves or their families if they had cancer. But they use it on anyone they can get away with using burn and poison techniques on to pay for their lifestyles. Don't take my word for it.

... that there are some last minute objections to the law? From the Lita'im?
