Your only 19-year-old son was the victim of a road accident. Doctors call you, he's in a state of brain death. He's not coming back. But his organs — kidney, liver, cornea — are healthy and can save four lives, including two children who have been waiting for years.
Doctors ask you for permission to collect.
Your family-in-law categorically opposes it. For them, the body must remain intact to present itself before God. Your imam says that organ donation is permitted by Islam — But your stepfather says this imam is wrong. Your own pain is so intense that you don't even know what you're thinking.
Four people are waiting. Of which two children. One of them could die this week without a transplant.
What do you decide?
- Allow donation To honour life by giving others the chance to live, at the cost of a painful family conflict.
- Refuse To respect your family's beliefs, at the cost of a decision that you will have to make alone for the rest of your life.
