    ethics have nothing to do with being Christian. Christians have ethics, but so do other people. Don't get into the theory of ethics, it is a huge topic. I just did a paper on it.

    Are you talking about only human organs, or xenotransplantation as well? Because we were talking about xenotransplantation in class, and one of the things that came up was that Muslim and Jewish people would be opposed to receiving pig organs. So you could mention that.
