Well,the _ donation _ is not a problem.The problem is : When do you consider a person dead,so you can use his organs? In other word,the moment of death. This is _ not _ a simple question to ask. The current knowledge in medicine says the moment of death is the "brain death". However this is not so simple. If there _ is _ a possibility of a person to be back alive after a "brain death" then taking his organs is pratically killing him,right? This "moment of death" is the real Judaism problem . While doctors say it is OK to take your organs,how do you make sure of two things: 1. The person is _ really _ dead (when we think of a person as dead?) 2. Why would you trust _ any _ doctor on such a thing? So,there are two main opinions in Judaism: 1. The moment of death is the brain death,_ but _ to make sure that person is really dead
there is a need of more then just one doctor to decide.Let say we need two doctors to say
that and one _ none _ doctor to see that the two other guys are not going to just kill somebody
for money.
There is a law in preparing actually in Isarel that makes all this to happen.
2. The moment of death is the moment of heart actually stopping.
This is _ against _ of current science,however I would not trust a science for this, science changes.
Note however that if an organ was _ already _ taken than the person is already dead anyway and thus the "receiving an organ is OK under religious law". Just trying to clear thing out.

Exactly the problem! ,what now?
You are not going to say - that he is dead,right?
But you don't know if he is alive.
So
Exactly!
