It is true that jewish tradition forbids it, but in some cases there are exceptions, e.g. if it saves lives.

 

>Israelโ€™s National Transplant and Organ Donation Center, Adi (http://www.health.gov.il/transplant/about_adi.htm) maintains a computerized database of Israeli citizens who have stated that they are willing to donate their organs to be used in organ transplants, in the case of death.

 

>Individuals who register with Adi receive an organ donation card; the card can also indicate whether the organ donation ought to be contingent upon approval by a religious leader who is chosen by their families. Ownership of an Adi card can make it easier for family members to make the difficult decision in favor of organ donation.
