Sadhguru Organ Donation Is Not Wise.

In Southern India , there is a proverbial statement of how a coconut tree is useful when it's alive and its when it's dead , every part of the coconut tree is useful even after its life .

Similarly , a human being has the opportunity that when we are alive , we can be absolutely useful and contributory to life around us .

And similarly , we can be even after life is up , organ donation is such a possibility that if we can make a difference for another life , even after our life is over , it's a great possibility that human beings should make use of in our culture .

There is no glorification after that , within a few hours after a person's demise , his body is anyway burnt .

Cremation is the way .

So when that that is so if we can make use of the dead people's organs to transform another life , it's definitely a wonderful thing .

But there is also another dimension to this .

Every human organ is designed to last a lifetime .

Why are we developing a culture that human organs are failing halfway down ?

So this is a culture that we have to develop , that individual people have to take responsibility to see that their bodies last for their lifetime .

Bringing that culture also is important , you drink your liver to rot and then you want somebody else's li liver .

This could generate an unhealthy trend .

And there is also a market place which will evolve out of this and that could open up many dangerous possibilities .

So , organ donation is a fantastic thing on the individual basis .

But on the larger context , we must be conscious and careful to see that this wonderful act of making a difference for another life does not develop into a huge market and bring all the other ugly things associated with it .
