Organ Donation
The Beth Din, the Office of the Chief Rabbi and Life2Life (a division of Hatzolah) will be working together to ensure that organ donation in South Africa can now be done in the best possible manner according to those opinions that allow it.
In particular, Doctors from Life2Life will work hand-in-hand with the local organ donor authorities to ensure that the organ donation is done in accordance with the guidelines of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, who accept the view that brain stem death is the true definition of death.
