Ah, there it is. There's that much vaunted Christian love, charity and tolerance. Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
啊，这就是了。这就是那备受吹捧的基督教之爱、慈善与宽容。难道这不让你的内心感到无比温暖和舒适吗？
Jennifer Georgia
Wait, why wouldn’t you want to give atheists more time on this earth to hopefully become believers?
等等，为什么你不愿意给无神论者更多时间在这世上，希望他们能成为信徒呢？
Do you just hate atheists so much you want to see them die and supposedly burn in agony for all eternity sooner rather than later?
你是否如此憎恨无神论者，以至于希望他们尽快死去，并据称在永恒的痛苦中燃烧？
Not a very Christian attitude, from what I remember from when I was a Christian….
根据我作为基督徒时的记忆，这不太像基督徒应有的态度……
Sarah Madden
I am a born-again Christian, an organ donor, and a long-time blood donor, and I have NEVER considered such a scenario. I have donated over 138 pints (17+ gallons) of blood so far. I have indicated on my driver’s license that I am an organ donor. (How on Earth can you consider yourself both a Christian and an organ donor if you think it is appropriate to set restrictions on who can receive your DONATED organs? (Also, for the record, a donor’s organs will be given to the neediest person, no matter what his or her beliefs are, and donors cannot restrict who gets their organs. The same is true for blood donors.)[1]
我是一名重生的基督徒，也是一名器官捐献者和长期献血者，我从未考虑过这样的情景。到目前为止，我已经捐献了超过138品脱（17加仑以上）的血液。我在我的驾驶执照上标明了我是一名器官捐献者。（如果你认为对谁可以接受你捐献的器官设置限制是合适的，那你怎么还能同时认为自己既是一名基督徒又是一名器官捐献者呢？（另外，需要说明的是，捐献者的器官将给予最需要的人，无论其信仰如何，捐献者不能限制谁获得他们的器官。献血者也是如此。）[1]
Please go back and read the New Testament, particularly the story about the Good Samaritan. You might learn something about generosity and unconditional love.
请回去阅读《新约》，特别是关于好撒玛利亚人的故事。你可能会学到一些关于慷慨和无条件之爱的道理。
Janie
Perhaps you’ll allow me (an atheist), remind you (who claim to be Christian) of the following:-
或许您能允许我（一名无神论者）提醒您（自称基督徒的人）以下几点：-
“Christ died for us while we were yet sinners”, Romans 5:8.
“当我们还是罪人的时候，基督就为我们而死”，罗马书5:8。
Now, ask yourself this, “What would Jesus do?”
现在，问问自己：“耶稣会怎么做？”
BTW. I’m an organ donor. Would you, dear Christian, be willing to accept my atheist organs to save your life or that of your child?
顺便说一句，我是一名器官捐献者。亲爱的基督徒，你愿意接受我这个无神论者的器官来拯救你或你孩子的生命吗？
Yes, thought so.
是的，我就这么想的。
PS: I'm not surprised the OP posted this shameful question anonymously. This sort of unloving, judgmental, attitude brings faith into disrepute and is in no small part why I am an ex-Christian.
我对原帖作者匿名发布这个令人羞愧的问题并不感到惊讶。这种缺乏爱心、充满批判的态度让信仰蒙羞，也是我之所以成为前基督徒的重要原因之一。

Where in you religion is that acceptable? Where is it acceptable in the Bible? Where did Christ ever say the story of the good Samaritan would be no longer part of your religious belief. Ever read Matthew 25:31–41. Christ didn’t say feed only hungry Christians or only make sure Christians get medical care. The Bible said one is obliged to care for the stranger as if they are family, not one word about making sure they follow your beliefs, he said STRANGERS.
在你的宗教中，哪里认为这是可接受的？圣经中哪里认可这一点？基督何时说过好撒玛利亚人的故事不再属于你们的宗教信仰？可曾读过马太福音25:31-41？基督并未说只喂养饥饿的基督徒，或只确保基督徒得到医疗照顾。圣经说人有义务照顾陌生人，视如家人，未提一字要求他们必须追随你的信仰，他说的是陌生人。
So we know you are not following the words of Christ so how is it you say you are a Christian? Christ according to your book says you are to love others AS MUCH as you love yourself. NO EXEMPTIONS, none. According to your book you are required to love atheists, gay people, people of other faiths, people of other races, other political parties, other skin colors. You are required to love them and to do nothing to them you wouldn’t want done to you. You need an organ do you want someone to tell you sorry I am a X and I do not donate to Christians.
因此，我们明白你并未遵循基督的教诲，那么你如何自称是基督徒呢？根据你们的经典，基督要求你们爱他人如同爱自己一样，毫无例外，绝无豁免。依据你们的经典，你们必须去爱无神论者、同性恋者、其他信仰的人、不同种族的人、其他政党的人、不同肤色的人。你们被要求去爱他们，并且不对他们做任何你们自己不愿承受的事。你需要一个器官时，会希望有人对你说‘抱歉，我是X，我不捐赠给基督徒’吗？
Sorry sweetie you are not a Christian because Christ was woke and requires Christian to help others, including strangers.
抱歉，亲爱的，你并不是一名基督徒，因为基督是觉醒的，并要求基督徒帮助他人，包括陌生人。
Vivienne Marcus
You cannot specify any criteria for the recipient(s) of donated organs. If you attempt to do so, your organs will not be used.
您不能为器官捐献的接受者设定任何标准。如果您试图这样做，您的器官将不会被使用。
As a Christian, surely you want to donate your organs out of genuine kindness and decency, not to punish a sick, suffering person for not sharing your beliefs? That’s not a very Christian attitude!
作为基督徒，你当然应该是出于真正的善意和体面而捐献器官，而不是为了惩罚一个不分享你信仰的病痛之人吧？这可不是一种很基督徒的态度！
Mary W. Matthews
Wait, are you saying Jesus DIDN'T command you, as a Christian, to love atheists as much as you love yourself (Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31)? Or are you saying that Jesus commanded YOU, specifically, to sit in judgment on atheists and condemn them in his name? This question sounds a lot like the group the Christian Testament calls Pharisees — standing at the Quora 'streetcorner' advertising your piety.
等等，你是说耶稣没有命令你，作为一个基督徒，要像爱自己一样爱无神论者（马太福音22:39，马可福音12:31）？还是说耶稣特别命令你，以他的名义审判无神论者并谴责他们？这个问题听起来很像基督教新约中称为法利赛人的那群人——站在Quora的“街角”炫耀你的虔诚。
Samantha Poe
Oh absolutely! After all, Jesus donated his entire life, body, mind, and spirit, dying a long and gruesome death strictly to save religious folk who already believed in God. Next, he was laid to rest in a tomb for three days before coming back to life, at which point he visited the Pharisees (religious men) and said, “Atheists, am I right?” and laughed with his friends about how the atheists are subhuman and not worth saving. After exchanging a few clumsy atheist jokes with his religious friends, he said, “Hey, you know I just died for you guys, right?” and then the Pharisees were all, “Yeah man, of course… but you know we’re already religious right?” and he was all “Oh for sure, but you guys are just so perfect that I thought you deserved a little pat on the back for your efforts.” Then the Pharisees exchanged confused glances for a few long and uncomfortable moments before Jesus said, “Well, I guess my work here is done! You guys are saved twice!” and went on his way.
哦，当然！毕竟耶稣奉献了他整个生命、身体、思想和灵魂，经历漫长而残酷的死亡，仅仅是为了拯救那些已经信仰上帝的宗教人士。接着，他在坟墓中安息三日才复活，随后去拜访法利赛人（宗教人士）时说：'无神论者，我说得对吧？'并和朋友们嘲笑无神论者低人一等、不值得拯救。在与宗教朋友们交换了几个拙劣的无神论者笑话后，他说：'嘿，要知道我刚为你们而死，对吧？'法利赛人回应：'当然，老兄...但你知道我们本来就是信徒对吧？'耶稣表示：'哦当然，但你们实在太完美了，我觉得你们的努力值得一点鼓励。'法利赛人困惑地交换了长时间尴尬的眼神后，耶稣说：'好吧，看来我的任务完成了！你们被双重拯救了！'随后便离开了。
I may have misquoted some of that, but I’m sure you know your Bible… right?
我可能有些地方引用得不太准确，但想必你对《圣经》很熟悉……对吧？

As a troll, you can be an organ donor. Organ donors can choose to have any categories of people exempted as recipients for any reason and express their will on Quora. Their organs will be used with no consideration for their choice, though. Stupidity don’t affect organs. It might be related to some brain deficiency, but the brain isn’t usable for transplantation, therefore it makes no difference.
作为一个网络喷子，你也可以成为器官捐献者。器官捐献者可以出于任何理由选择排除任何类别的人作为器官接受者，并在Quora上表达他们的意愿。不过，他们的器官在使用时不会考虑他们的选择。愚蠢不会影响器官。这可能与某些大脑缺陷有关，但大脑不能用于移植，因此这没有任何区别。
Joe Devney
No, for two reasons. First is the practical part: if you are an “organ donor,” you are dead. You don’t own anything. However the donation is handled where you live, someone is empowered to follow protocols and give those organs to whoever is most deserving according to the medical criteria in those protocols.
不，原因有二。首先是现实层面：如果你成为“器官捐献者”，意味着你已经死亡。你不再拥有任何东西。无论你所在地区如何处理捐献事宜，总会有人被授权按照既定规程操作，并根据这些规程中的医学标准，将器官分配给最符合条件的接受者。
And I would bet money that the organization that makes those decisions does not know or care what the religions of the potential recipients are.
我敢打赌，做出这些决策的组织既不知道也不关心潜在接受者的宗教信仰是什么。
The second reason is religious. What you suggest is so profoundly un-Christian that you will lose whatever reputation you earned with God by choosing to be an organ donor in the first place. Jesus would be angry with you.
第二个原因是宗教方面的。你所提议的如此严重地违背基督教精神，以至于你会失去最初选择成为器官捐献者时在上帝那里赢得的所有声誉。耶稣会对你感到愤怒。
It would be up to God whether this demonstration of hatred toward your fellow-man keeps your soul out of heaven. I won’t try to read God’s mind on that score.
这种对同胞的仇恨是否会阻碍你的灵魂进入天堂，将由上帝决定。我不会试图揣测上帝对此事的想法。
Daniel Pinner
The laws for how you can decide on organ donation vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I have no idea where you live, so I have no way of answering your question. Neither does anyone else.
关于如何决定器官捐献的法律因司法管辖区而异。我不知道您住在哪里，因此无法回答您的问题。其他人也一样无法回答。
I live in Israel, where if you sign an organ donor card, you can’t make any stipulations.
我住在以色列，在这里如果你签署了器官捐献卡，就不能提出任何附加条件。
For what my opinion is worth, I believe that organ donors should be allowed to stipulate any conditions they want. After all, it’s your body, your choice. If you want your organs used solely for immediate transplant but not for research, you should be allowed to decide that. If you agree to donate your organs solely to men above the age of 47 whose names begin with a “V”, you should be allowed to decide that. If you want your organs to go solely to a Christian, or only to White people, or anyone other than a Jew, you should be allowed to decide that.
就我个人而言，我认为器官捐献者应当被允许设定任何他们想要的条件。毕竟，这是你的身体，你的选择。如果你希望你的器官仅用于即时移植而非研究，你应当有权决定这一点。如果你同意只将器官捐献给年龄超过47岁、名字以“V”开头的男性，你也应当有权决定。如果你希望你的器官只捐给基督徒，或只给白人，或除犹太人以外的任何人，你都应当有权决定。
But I don’t make the rules.
但我不制定规则。
Marty Severiano Johncox
From a practical standpoint, that would be difficult to administer. Many organ donors die suddenly and they must be operated on immediately. Medical professionals and officials have more important matters than trying to determine what God(s) this person might have worshipped. One easy solution: Simply exempt yourself from the program and refuse to allow anyone else’s organs to be transplanted into you. There are many people who have such a strong desire to live, they would take an organ from someone regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, nationality, mythical beliefs, etc., in a heartbeat and wouldn’t be at all picky. However, I do think that if someone doesn’t participate in the organ donation program, they should receive lower priority than someone who does. That’s only fair. Give what you want.
从实际操作角度来看，这样管理会很困难。许多器官捐献者都是突然离世，必须立即进行手术。医疗专业人员和官员有比试图确定这个人可能信仰什么神祇更重要的事情要做。一个简单的解决方案是：只需让自己退出该计划，并拒绝允许任何他人的器官移植到您体内。有很多人有着如此强烈的求生欲望，他们会毫不犹豫地接受来自任何种族、宗教、性取向、国籍、神话信仰等的人的器官，而不会挑剔。然而，我确实认为，如果有人不参与器官捐献计划，他们应该比参与的人获得较低的优先级。这才是公平的。付出您所期望的。
Cheryl Barnes
I am a Christian, and I must say, I am horrified by this question. I truly hope that it is insincere, as I simply can not wrap my head around an actual Christian being so hateful as to deny any ill or dying person a chance at life.
我是一名基督徒，我必须说，这个问题让我感到震惊。我真的希望这不是真心实意的，因为我实在无法理解一个真正的基督徒会如此充满仇恨，以至于拒绝任何生病或垂死之人获得生存的机会。
If you are, in fact, a Christian, please read the book of John once again. Focus on the parts where it talks about how they will know us by our love, and how in the end we will be divided up between those who cared for the poor, the stranger, the prisoners, and those who did not. Nowhere does it qualify who we care for. Nowhere does it say that we are only to love those who believe as we do.
如果你确实是一名基督徒，请再次阅读约翰福音。专注于那些谈论他人如何通过我们的爱来认识我们，以及最终我们如何被区分为关心穷人、陌生人、囚犯的人与不关心的人的部分。其中没有任何地方限定我们应当关心谁。也没有任何地方说我们只应该爱那些与我们信仰相同的人。
Truly, I am not kidding, if you are actually a Christian asking this question, pray right now that your eyes will be opened, and that you will be given the wisdom to actually understand your faith. If you are displaying hate and judgment as a Christian, please, please, just do us all a favor and do not call yourself a Christian. When you profess your Christianity without displaying love, you are not acting like a Christian. You are repelling people from Christ, rather than attracting people to the Good News that we are to be spreading. If you have turned into the dead wood that the Bible speaks of, and have no plans to be obedient and bear fruit, please just stay quiet. At least that way you will do no further damage to Christianity.
真的，我不是在开玩笑，如果你是真正在提问的基督徒，现在就祈祷你的眼睛能被打开，被赐予智慧来真正理解你的信仰。如果你以基督徒的身份表现出仇恨和评判，请，请行行好，不要自称基督徒。当你宣称自己是基督徒却不展现爱心时，你的行为并不像基督徒。你是在让人们远离基督，而不是吸引人们接受我们应当传播的福音。如果你已变成圣经中所说的枯木，且无意顺服并结出果实，请保持沉默。至少这样你不会对基督教造成更多损害。
Marc Morgenstern
Please specify what “religious reasons” you would give for refusing to donate your organs to an atheist, except bigotry and prejudice?
基于宗教原因拒绝向无神论者捐赠器官，除了偏见和歧视之外，可能包括宗教信仰中对生命神圣性的特定解释、对死后身体完整性的教义要求，或者某些宗教仪式中对器官捐赠的特定限制。然而，这些理由应基于真诚的信仰实践，而非针对无神论者的歧视。
Donating your organs is a charitable act of selflessness. Doesn’t Christianity demand that followers do selfless acts of charity? Aren’t charitable acts one of the things God expects you to do in order to be considered a good Christian and obtain the kingdom of heaven?
器官捐献是一种无私的慈善行为。基督教不是要求信徒行无私的慈善之举吗？慈善行为不正是上帝期望你去做的事情之一，以便被视为一名优秀的基督徒并获得天国吗？
When you sign an organ donor card, you are essentially giving up ownership of those organs. The organization responsible for harvesting and distributing them to prospective donors then has custody of your organs, and may donate them to anyone they wish who is in need. Generally, there is a list of recipients who are to receive them, ranked based upon medical need to save and preserve life. Organ donations are usually done anonymously, just to avoid the situation you describe above.
当你签署器官捐献卡时，你实质上放弃了这些器官的所有权。负责采集并将器官分配给潜在受赠者的组织随后获得对你器官的监护权，并可以将其捐赠给他们认为有需要的任何人。通常，会有一份按医疗需求排序的受赠者名单，以拯救和维持生命。器官捐赠通常是匿名进行的，正是为了避免你所描述的上述情况。
So no, you cannot refuse to donate your organs to someone else on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, financial status, or, indeed, any other status.
所以不，你不能基于种族、信仰、肤色、宗教、国籍、性别、性取向、财务状况或任何其他身份而拒绝将你的器官捐赠给他人。
I’m trying to think of a reason why you would care who gets your organs. If you’re dead and now an immortal spirit in heaven, what need do would you have of your earthly, material body, and its organs?
我在思考一个理由，为什么你会在意谁得到你的器官。如果你已经死去，现在是一个在天堂的不朽灵魂，你还会需要你尘世的、物质的肉体及其器官吗？
Let me ask you a hypothetical question: if you were in an ICU, and desperately needed an organ transplant, and one was available from an atheist, you’d refuse it because this person is an atheist? You’d rather die?
让我问你一个假设性问题：如果你在重症监护室，急需器官移植，而有一个来自无神论者的器官可用，你会因为这个人是个无神论者而拒绝它吗？你宁愿死吗？
I can assure you, that were I to be in a similar situation, I would GLADLY accept the gift of life from an anonymous donor, and be thankful all my life to that person for giving up his life to save mine.
我可以向你保证，如果我也处于类似的境地，我会欣然接受来自匿名捐赠者的生命礼物，并终生感激那个人放弃自己的生命来拯救我的生命。
“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
“这是我的诫命，你们要彼此相爱，就像我爱你们一样。人为朋友舍命，没有比这更大的爱了。你们若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友。”
Mr. Jo
Why? Because the state does not want religious leaders demanding their followers hand over their valuable organs in death, for rewards in their afterlife.
为什么？因为国家不希望宗教领袖要求其追随者在死后捐献出他们宝贵的器官，以换取来世的回报。
Organs are donated, and once donated are given to recipients based on the identified need by the medical administrators overseeing organ donation, which is a very complex process that carries a great deal of moral weight upon it for those who must decide. This is because the reality is that there is only a fraction of organs available for what is needed, since most people’s organs are unsuitable upon death, or those people did not wish to donate their organs for some reason, which seems a tad wasteful to me, but that’s just my personal opinion.
器官是通过捐赠获得的，一旦捐赠，便由负责器官捐赠的医疗管理人员根据已识别的需求分配给接受者。这是一个极其复杂的过程，对于必须做出决定的人来说，承载着巨大的道德压力。这是因为现实情况是，可供使用的器官数量远低于需求，因为大多数人的器官在死亡时不适用，或者由于某些原因这些人不愿意捐赠器官，这在我看来有点浪费，但这只是我的个人观点。
It is possible to donate organs, at the time of donation only and not prior, to someone specifically, which is sometimes the case when a surgeon finds a just-deceased possible donor, and will beg their family to donate the organ to someone who is likely literally dying in the very same city, if not the same hospital.
在捐赠时，而非之前，有可能将器官定向捐赠给特定的人。这种情况有时发生在当外科医生发现一位刚刚去世的可能捐赠者时，会恳求其家人将器官捐赠给很可能就在同一城市、甚至同一家医院内濒临死亡的人。
However specifying donation only to a certain population, such as say Christians only, is essentially forbidden by state medical ethics boards. The reason for this is not so much because they worry about people not donating because it might end up in the body of their hated religious enemy, but rather because medical ethics boards fear compelled donation.
然而，国家医学伦理委员会基本上禁止将捐赠仅限于特定人群，例如仅限基督徒。其原因并非主要担心人们因捐赠可能流入他们所憎恨的宗教敌人体内而不愿捐赠，而是因为医学伦理委员会担忧强制捐赠。
Think what would happen if a religious group, or any group for that matter religious or not, told their followers that as part of their beliefs/membership, they had to agree to donate there entire body, organs and all, to be used by members of that organization. It would be unethical to permit people in a position of authority, especially religious leaders who can promise post-life incentives, to compel their followers/members to give them their bodies and organs.
试想一下，如果一个宗教团体或任何团体（无论是否具有宗教性质）告诉其追随者，作为其信仰/成员身份的一部分，他们必须同意将整个身体、器官及所有部分捐赠给该组织的成员使用。允许处于权威地位的人，尤其是那些能够承诺死后激励的宗教领袖，强迫其追随者/成员将身体和器官交给他们，这是不道德的。
Consider even more what happens when a specific organization, like say one of the prosperity churches, has the inside track on fresh organs for their membership only, and, oh say, they ask you for a donation when you find yourself in need of a kidney. Oh, they are not asking you to pay for it, that would be illegal, just, perhaps, a $100K donation to the church?
更进一步思考，当某个特定组织，比如某个繁荣教会，仅为其成员优先获取新鲜器官资源时，会发生什么情况。哦，比如当你需要肾脏时，他们却要求你捐款。他们并非让你直接支付器官费用——那将是违法的——但或许，只是向教会捐赠10万美元？
See how quickly an unethical person could twist this to their own gain?
看看一个不道德的人能多快地将此扭曲以谋取私利？
That is why no, you cannot specifically say only one type of person can, or cannot, receive your organs.
这就是为什么不能，你不能明确地说只有某一类人可以或不可以接受你的器官。

Your organs are not “Christian”. They are as secular as any atheist‘s or Muslim's and will work or be rejected from any body not genetically compatible.
您的器官并非“基督教徒”。它们与任何无神论者或穆斯林的器官一样世俗，将在任何非基因兼容的身体中工作或被排斥。
Your heart appears to be anti-Christian, since it has no compassion for the suffering.
你的心似乎反基督教，因为它对苦难毫无怜悯之心。
Consider that Jesus said that on the last day the King will divide the [inhabitants of all the] nations of the earth into the sheep and the goats, and the only criteria he gave for the sheep being welcome to the land God had ordained for them to inherit is that they cared for his brothers and sisters when they were needing care and support. (Matthew 25) The goats did not aid the King's sisters and brothers, so they were to go into the lake of fire.
考虑到耶稣说过，在末日那天，君王要将地上所有国家的居民分为绵羊和山羊。他给出的唯一标准是，绵羊之所以能进入上帝为他们预备承受的国度，是因为他们在君王兄弟姐妹需要关怀和支持时给予了照顾。（马太福音25章）山羊没有帮助君王的兄弟姐妹，因此他们将被投入火湖。
So, since you put a caveat against giving the organs you don't need to “atheists”, you won't be among the sheep but among the goats. The King won't give you mercy because you won't be merciful.
所以，既然你对将不需要的器官捐给“无神论者”设置了限制，你将不会属于绵羊之列，而是属于山羊之列。国王不会施予你怜悯，因为你不会仁慈。
Dan Lenski
Nearly all Christian groups expect that their members will bear witness to the message of Christianity, in order to spread the faith and the possibility of salvation to their fellow human beings. (Depending on which Christian denomination you belong to, you may believe that eternal salvation can be achieved exclusively through sincere Christian faith.)
几乎所有基督教团体都期望其成员为基督教的信息作见证，以便向同胞传播信仰和救赎的可能性。（根据你所归属的基督教教派，你可能会相信永恒救赎只能通过真诚的基督教信仰来实现。）
This is why Christianity has long encouraged and hastened to accept conversions at the end of life, perhaps most famously by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.
这就是为什么基督教长期以来鼓励并促使人们在生命尽头接受皈依，或许最著名的例子便是罗马皇帝君士坦丁大帝。
I’m not a follower of Christianity, but if I were, the choice of whether or not to offer my organs to atheist recipients would be an obvious one to me…
我并非基督教徒，但若我是，是否将器官捐献给无神论受赠者对我来说会是一个显而易见的决定……
If an atheist in need of an organ transplant does not receive a donation, he or she will likely die very soon, forestalling the possibility to accept the Christian faith. If this happens because a Christian donor expressly denied his or her organs to atheists, this could be seen as a very real failing on the part of the donor to spread the Christian message and seek salvation for a fellow human being.
如果一位需要器官移植的无神论者未能获得捐赠，他或她很可能很快死亡，从而失去了接受基督教信仰的可能性。如果这种情况发生是因为一位基督教捐赠者明确拒绝将其器官捐给无神论者，那么这可以被视为捐赠者在传播基督教信息和为同胞寻求救赎方面的一个非常真实的失败。
On the other hand, if an atheist receives an organ from a Christian donor, thereby prolonging his or her life, there’s a very real possibility that he or she will accept Christianity. Perhaps even more so if the recipient learns about the sincere Christian faith of the donor.
另一方面，如果一位无神论者接受了来自基督教捐赠者的器官，从而延长了他或她的生命，那么他或她接受基督教的可能性是真实存在的。如果接受者了解到捐赠者真诚的基督教信仰，这种可能性或许会更大。
Ah, there it is. There's that much vaunted Christian love, charity and tolerance. Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
啊，这就是了。这就是那备受吹捧的基督教之爱、慈善与宽容。难道这不让你的内心感到无比温暖和舒适吗？
Jennifer Georgia
Wait, why wouldn’t you want to give atheists more time on this earth to hopefully become believers?
等等，为什么你不愿意给无神论者更多时间在这世上，希望他们能成为信徒呢？
Do you just hate atheists so much you want to see them die and supposedly burn in agony for all eternity sooner rather than later?
你是否如此憎恨无神论者，以至于希望他们尽快死去，并据称在永恒的痛苦中燃烧？
Not a very Christian attitude, from what I remember from when I was a Christian….
根据我作为基督徒时的记忆，这不太像基督徒应有的态度……
Sarah Madden
I am a born-again Christian, an organ donor, and a long-time blood donor, and I have NEVER considered such a scenario. I have donated over 138 pints (17+ gallons) of blood so far. I have indicated on my driver’s license that I am an organ donor. (How on Earth can you consider yourself both a Christian and an organ donor if you think it is appropriate to set restrictions on who can receive your DONATED organs? (Also, for the record, a donor’s organs will be given to the neediest person, no matter what his or her beliefs are, and donors cannot restrict who gets their organs. The same is true for blood donors.)[1]
我是一名重生的基督徒，也是一名器官捐献者和长期献血者，我从未考虑过这样的情景。到目前为止，我已经捐献了超过138品脱（17加仑以上）的血液。我在我的驾驶执照上标明了我是一名器官捐献者。（如果你认为对谁可以接受你捐献的器官设置限制是合适的，那你怎么还能同时认为自己既是一名基督徒又是一名器官捐献者呢？（另外，需要说明的是，捐献者的器官将给予最需要的人，无论其信仰如何，捐献者不能限制谁获得他们的器官。献血者也是如此。）[1]
Please go back and read the New Testament, particularly the story about the Good Samaritan. You might learn something about generosity and unconditional love.
请回去阅读《新约》，特别是关于好撒玛利亚人的故事。你可能会学到一些关于慷慨和无条件之爱的道理。
Janie
Perhaps you’ll allow me (an atheist), remind you (who claim to be Christian) of the following:-
或许您能允许我（一名无神论者）提醒您（自称基督徒的人）以下几点：-
“Christ died for us while we were yet sinners”, Romans 5:8.
“当我们还是罪人的时候，基督就为我们而死”，罗马书5:8。
Now, ask yourself this, “What would Jesus do?”
现在，问问自己：“耶稣会怎么做？”
BTW. I’m an organ donor. Would you, dear Christian, be willing to accept my atheist organs to save your life or that of your child?
顺便说一句，我是一名器官捐献者。亲爱的基督徒，你愿意接受我这个无神论者的器官来拯救你或你孩子的生命吗？
Yes, thought so.
是的，我就这么想的。
PS: I'm not surprised the OP posted this shameful question anonymously. This sort of unloving, judgmental, attitude brings faith into disrepute and is in no small part why I am an ex-Christian.
我对原帖作者匿名发布这个令人羞愧的问题并不感到惊讶。这种缺乏爱心、充满批判的态度让信仰蒙羞，也是我之所以成为前基督徒的重要原因之一。
Angela Birch
Where in you religion is that acceptable? Where is it acceptable in the Bible? Where did Christ ever say the story of the good Samaritan would be no longer part of your religious belief. Ever read Matthew 25:31–41. Christ didn’t say feed only hungry Christians or only make sure Christians get medical care. The Bible said one is obliged to care for the stranger as if they are family, not one word about making sure they follow your beliefs, he said STRANGERS.
在你的宗教中，哪里认为这是可接受的？圣经中哪里认可这一点？基督何时说过好撒玛利亚人的故事不再属于你们的宗教信仰？可曾读过马太福音25:31-41？基督并未说只喂养饥饿的基督徒，或只确保基督徒得到医疗照顾。圣经说人有义务照顾陌生人，视如家人，未提一字要求他们必须追随你的信仰，他说的是陌生人。
So we know you are not following the words of Christ so how is it you say you are a Christian? Christ according to your book says you are to love others AS MUCH as you love yourself. NO EXEMPTIONS, none. According to your book you are required to love atheists, gay people, people of other faiths, people of other races, other political parties, other skin colors. You are required to love them and to do nothing to them you wouldn’t want done to you. You need an organ do you want someone to tell you sorry I am a X and I do not donate to Christians.
因此，我们明白你并未遵循基督的教诲，那么你如何自称是基督徒呢？根据你们的经典，基督要求你们爱他人如同爱自己一样，毫无例外，绝无豁免。依据你们的经典，你们必须去爱无神论者、同性恋者、其他信仰的人、不同种族的人、其他政党的人、不同肤色的人。你们被要求去爱他们，并且不对他们做任何你们自己不愿承受的事。你需要一个器官时，会希望有人对你说‘抱歉，我是X，我不捐赠给基督徒’吗？
Sorry sweetie you are not a Christian because Christ was woke and requires Christian to help others, including strangers.
抱歉，亲爱的，你并不是一名基督徒，因为基督是觉醒的，并要求基督徒帮助他人，包括陌生人。

You cannot specify any criteria for the recipient(s) of donated organs. If you attempt to do so, your organs will not be used.
您不能为器官捐献的接受者设定任何标准。如果您试图这样做，您的器官将不会被使用。
As a Christian, surely you want to donate your organs out of genuine kindness and decency, not to punish a sick, suffering person for not sharing your beliefs? That’s not a very Christian attitude!
作为基督徒，你当然应该是出于真正的善意和体面而捐献器官，而不是为了惩罚一个不分享你信仰的病痛之人吧？这可不是一种很基督徒的态度！
Mary W. Matthews
Wait, are you saying Jesus DIDN'T command you, as a Christian, to love atheists as much as you love yourself (Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31)? Or are you saying that Jesus commanded YOU, specifically, to sit in judgment on atheists and condemn them in his name? This question sounds a lot like the group the Christian Testament calls Pharisees — standing at the Quora 'streetcorner' advertising your piety.
等等，你是说耶稣没有命令你，作为一个基督徒，要像爱自己一样爱无神论者（马太福音22:39，马可福音12:31）？还是说耶稣特别命令你，以他的名义审判无神论者并谴责他们？这个问题听起来很像基督教新约中称为法利赛人的那群人——站在Quora的“街角”炫耀你的虔诚。
Samantha Poe
Oh absolutely! After all, Jesus donated his entire life, body, mind, and spirit, dying a long and gruesome death strictly to save religious folk who already believed in God. Next, he was laid to rest in a tomb for three days before coming back to life, at which point he visited the Pharisees (religious men) and said, “Atheists, am I right?” and laughed with his friends about how the atheists are subhuman and not worth saving. After exchanging a few clumsy atheist jokes with his religious friends, he said, “Hey, you know I just died for you guys, right?” and then the Pharisees were all, “Yeah man, of course… but you know we’re already religious right?” and he was all “Oh for sure, but you guys are just so perfect that I thought you deserved a little pat on the back for your efforts.” Then the Pharisees exchanged confused glances for a few long and uncomfortable moments before Jesus said, “Well, I guess my work here is done! You guys are saved twice!” and went on his way.
哦，当然！毕竟耶稣奉献了他整个生命、身体、思想和灵魂，经历漫长而残酷的死亡，仅仅是为了拯救那些已经信仰上帝的宗教人士。接着，他在坟墓中安息三日才复活，随后去拜访法利赛人（宗教人士）时说：'无神论者，我说得对吧？'并和朋友们嘲笑无神论者低人一等、不值得拯救。在与宗教朋友们交换了几个拙劣的无神论者笑话后，他说：'嘿，要知道我刚为你们而死，对吧？'法利赛人回应：'当然，老兄...但你知道我们本来就是信徒对吧？'耶稣表示：'哦当然，但你们实在太完美了，我觉得你们的努力值得一点鼓励。'法利赛人困惑地交换了长时间尴尬的眼神后，耶稣说：'好吧，看来我的任务完成了！你们被双重拯救了！'随后便离开了。
I may have misquoted some of that, but I’m sure you know your Bible… right?
我可能有些地方引用得不太准确，但想必你对《圣经》很熟悉……对吧？

As a troll, you can be an organ donor. Organ donors can choose to have any categories of people exempted as recipients for any reason and express their will on Quora. Their organs will be used with no consideration for their choice, though. Stupidity don’t affect organs. It might be related to some brain deficiency, but the brain isn’t usable for transplantation, therefore it makes no difference.
作为一个网络喷子，你也可以成为器官捐献者。器官捐献者可以出于任何理由选择排除任何类别的人作为器官接受者，并在Quora上表达他们的意愿。不过，他们的器官在使用时不会考虑他们的选择。愚蠢不会影响器官。这可能与某些大脑缺陷有关，但大脑不能用于移植，因此这没有任何区别。
Joe Devney
No, for two reasons. First is the practical part: if you are an “organ donor,” you are dead. You don’t own anything. However the donation is handled where you live, someone is empowered to follow protocols and give those organs to whoever is most deserving according to the medical criteria in those protocols.
不，原因有二。首先是现实层面：如果你成为“器官捐献者”，意味着你已经死亡。你不再拥有任何东西。无论你所在地区如何处理捐献事宜，总会有人被授权按照既定规程操作，并根据这些规程中的医学标准，将器官分配给最符合条件的接受者。
And I would bet money that the organization that makes those decisions does not know or care what the religions of the potential recipients are.
我敢打赌，做出这些决策的组织既不知道也不关心潜在接受者的宗教信仰是什么。
The second reason is religious. What you suggest is so profoundly un-Christian that you will lose whatever reputation you earned with God by choosing to be an organ donor in the first place. Jesus would be angry with you.
第二个原因是宗教方面的。你所提议的如此严重地违背基督教精神，以至于你会失去最初选择成为器官捐献者时在上帝那里赢得的所有声誉。耶稣会对你感到愤怒。
It would be up to God whether this demonstration of hatred toward your fellow-man keeps your soul out of heaven. I won’t try to read God’s mind on that score.
这种对同胞的仇恨是否会阻碍你的灵魂进入天堂，将由上帝决定。我不会试图揣测上帝对此事的想法。
Daniel Pinner
The laws for how you can decide on organ donation vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I have no idea where you live, so I have no way of answering your question. Neither does anyone else.
关于如何决定器官捐献的法律因司法管辖区而异。我不知道您住在哪里，因此无法回答您的问题。其他人也一样无法回答。
I live in Israel, where if you sign an organ donor card, you can’t make any stipulations.
我住在以色列，在这里如果你签署了器官捐献卡，就不能提出任何附加条件。
For what my opinion is worth, I believe that organ donors should be allowed to stipulate any conditions they want. After all, it’s your body, your choice. If you want your organs used solely for immediate transplant but not for research, you should be allowed to decide that. If you agree to donate your organs solely to men above the age of 47 whose names begin with a “V”, you should be allowed to decide that. If you want your organs to go solely to a Christian, or only to White people, or anyone other than a Jew, you should be allowed to decide that.
就我个人而言，我认为器官捐献者应当被允许设定任何他们想要的条件。毕竟，这是你的身体，你的选择。如果你希望你的器官仅用于即时移植而非研究，你应当有权决定这一点。如果你同意只将器官捐献给年龄超过47岁、名字以“V”开头的男性，你也应当有权决定。如果你希望你的器官只捐给基督徒，或只给白人，或除犹太人以外的任何人，你都应当有权决定。
But I don’t make the rules.
但我不制定规则。
Marty Severiano Johncox
From a practical standpoint, that would be difficult to administer. Many organ donors die suddenly and they must be operated on immediately. Medical professionals and officials have more important matters than trying to determine what God(s) this person might have worshipped. One easy solution: Simply exempt yourself from the program and refuse to allow anyone else’s organs to be transplanted into you. There are many people who have such a strong desire to live, they would take an organ from someone regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, nationality, mythical beliefs, etc., in a heartbeat and wouldn’t be at all picky. However, I do think that if someone doesn’t participate in the organ donation program, they should receive lower priority than someone who does. That’s only fair. Give what you want.
从实际操作角度来看，这样管理会很困难。许多器官捐献者都是突然离世，必须立即进行手术。医疗专业人员和官员有比试图确定这个人可能信仰什么神祇更重要的事情要做。一个简单的解决方案是：只需让自己退出该计划，并拒绝允许任何他人的器官移植到您体内。有很多人有着如此强烈的求生欲望，他们会毫不犹豫地接受来自任何种族、宗教、性取向、国籍、神话信仰等的人的器官，而不会挑剔。然而，我确实认为，如果有人不参与器官捐献计划，他们应该比参与的人获得较低的优先级。这才是公平的。付出您所期望的。
Cheryl Barnes
I am a Christian, and I must say, I am horrified by this question. I truly hope that it is insincere, as I simply can not wrap my head around an actual Christian being so hateful as to deny any ill or dying person a chance at life.
我是一名基督徒，我必须说，这个问题让我感到震惊。我真的希望这不是真心实意的，因为我实在无法理解一个真正的基督徒会如此充满仇恨，以至于拒绝任何生病或垂死之人获得生存的机会。
If you are, in fact, a Christian, please read the book of John once again. Focus on the parts where it talks about how they will know us by our love, and how in the end we will be divided up between those who cared for the poor, the stranger, the prisoners, and those who did not. Nowhere does it qualify who we care for. Nowhere does it say that we are only to love those who believe as we do.
如果你确实是一名基督徒，请再次阅读约翰福音。专注于那些谈论他人如何通过我们的爱来认识我们，以及最终我们如何被区分为关心穷人、陌生人、囚犯的人与不关心的人的部分。其中没有任何地方限定我们应当关心谁。也没有任何地方说我们只应该爱那些与我们信仰相同的人。
Truly, I am not kidding, if you are actually a Christian asking this question, pray right now that your eyes will be opened, and that you will be given the wisdom to actually understand your faith. If you are displaying hate and judgment as a Christian, please, please, just do us all a favor and do not call yourself a Christian. When you profess your Christianity without displaying love, you are not acting like a Christian. You are repelling people from Christ, rather than attracting people to the Good News that we are to be spreading. If you have turned into the dead wood that the Bible speaks of, and have no plans to be obedient and bear fruit, please just stay quiet. At least that way you will do no further damage to Christianity.
真的，我不是在开玩笑，如果你是真正在提问的基督徒，现在就祈祷你的眼睛能被打开，被赐予智慧来真正理解你的信仰。如果你以基督徒的身份表现出仇恨和评判，请，请行行好，不要自称基督徒。当你宣称自己是基督徒却不展现爱心时，你的行为并不像基督徒。你是在让人们远离基督，而不是吸引人们接受我们应当传播的福音。如果你已变成圣经中所说的枯木，且无意顺服并结出果实，请保持沉默。至少这样你不会对基督教造成更多损害。
Marc Morgenstern
Please specify what “religious reasons” you would give for refusing to donate your organs to an atheist, except bigotry and prejudice?
基于宗教原因拒绝向无神论者捐赠器官，除了偏见和歧视之外，可能包括宗教信仰中对生命神圣性的特定解释、对死后身体完整性的教义要求，或者某些宗教仪式中对器官捐赠的特定限制。然而，这些理由应基于真诚的信仰实践，而非针对无神论者的歧视。
Donating your organs is a charitable act of selflessness. Doesn’t Christianity demand that followers do selfless acts of charity? Aren’t charitable acts one of the things God expects you to do in order to be considered a good Christian and obtain the kingdom of heaven?
器官捐献是一种无私的慈善行为。基督教不是要求信徒行无私的慈善之举吗？慈善行为不正是上帝期望你去做的事情之一，以便被视为一名优秀的基督徒并获得天国吗？
When you sign an organ donor card, you are essentially giving up ownership of those organs. The organization responsible for harvesting and distributing them to prospective donors then has custody of your organs, and may donate them to anyone they wish who is in need. Generally, there is a list of recipients who are to receive them, ranked based upon medical need to save and preserve life. Organ donations are usually done anonymously, just to avoid the situation you describe above.
当你签署器官捐献卡时，你实质上放弃了这些器官的所有权。负责采集并将器官分配给潜在受赠者的组织随后获得对你器官的监护权，并可以将其捐赠给他们认为有需要的任何人。通常，会有一份按医疗需求排序的受赠者名单，以拯救和维持生命。器官捐赠通常是匿名进行的，正是为了避免你所描述的上述情况。
So no, you cannot refuse to donate your organs to someone else on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, financial status, or, indeed, any other status.
所以不，你不能基于种族、信仰、肤色、宗教、国籍、性别、性取向、财务状况或任何其他身份而拒绝将你的器官捐赠给他人。
I’m trying to think of a reason why you would care who gets your organs. If you’re dead and now an immortal spirit in heaven, what need do would you have of your earthly, material body, and its organs?
我在思考一个理由，为什么你会在意谁得到你的器官。如果你已经死去，现在是一个在天堂的不朽灵魂，你还会需要你尘世的、物质的肉体及其器官吗？
Let me ask you a hypothetical question: if you were in an ICU, and desperately needed an organ transplant, and one was available from an atheist, you’d refuse it because this person is an atheist? You’d rather die?
让我问你一个假设性问题：如果你在重症监护室，急需器官移植，而有一个来自无神论者的器官可用，你会因为这个人是个无神论者而拒绝它吗？你宁愿死吗？
I can assure you, that were I to be in a similar situation, I would GLADLY accept the gift of life from an anonymous donor, and be thankful all my life to that person for giving up his life to save mine.
我可以向你保证，如果我也处于类似的境地，我会欣然接受来自匿名捐赠者的生命礼物，并终生感激那个人放弃自己的生命来拯救我的生命。
“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
“这是我的诫命，你们要彼此相爱，就像我爱你们一样。人为朋友舍命，没有比这更大的爱了。你们若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友。”
Mr. Jo
Why? Because the state does not want religious leaders demanding their followers hand over their valuable organs in death, for rewards in their afterlife.
为什么？因为国家不希望宗教领袖要求其追随者在死后捐献出他们宝贵的器官，以换取来世的回报。
Organs are donated, and once donated are given to recipients based on the identified need by the medical administrators overseeing organ donation, which is a very complex process that carries a great deal of moral weight upon it for those who must decide. This is because the reality is that there is only a fraction of organs available for what is needed, since most people’s organs are unsuitable upon death, or those people did not wish to donate their organs for some reason, which seems a tad wasteful to me, but that’s just my personal opinion.
器官是通过捐赠获得的，一旦捐赠，便由负责器官捐赠的医疗管理人员根据已识别的需求分配给接受者。这是一个极其复杂的过程，对于必须做出决定的人来说，承载着巨大的道德压力。这是因为现实情况是，可供使用的器官数量远低于需求，因为大多数人的器官在死亡时不适用，或者由于某些原因这些人不愿意捐赠器官，这在我看来有点浪费，但这只是我的个人观点。
It is possible to donate organs, at the time of donation only and not prior, to someone specifically, which is sometimes the case when a surgeon finds a just-deceased possible donor, and will beg their family to donate the organ to someone who is likely literally dying in the very same city, if not the same hospital.
在捐赠时，而非之前，有可能将器官定向捐赠给特定的人。这种情况有时发生在当外科医生发现一位刚刚去世的可能捐赠者时，会恳求其家人将器官捐赠给很可能就在同一城市、甚至同一家医院内濒临死亡的人。
However specifying donation only to a certain population, such as say Christians only, is essentially forbidden by state medical ethics boards. The reason for this is not so much because they worry about people not donating because it might end up in the body of their hated religious enemy, but rather because medical ethics boards fear compelled donation.
然而，国家医学伦理委员会基本上禁止将捐赠仅限于特定人群，例如仅限基督徒。其原因并非主要担心人们因捐赠可能流入他们所憎恨的宗教敌人体内而不愿捐赠，而是因为医学伦理委员会担忧强制捐赠。
Think what would happen if a religious group, or any group for that matter religious or not, told their followers that as part of their beliefs/membership, they had to agree to donate there entire body, organs and all, to be used by members of that organization. It would be unethical to permit people in a position of authority, especially religious leaders who can promise post-life incentives, to compel their followers/members to give them their bodies and organs.
试想一下，如果一个宗教团体或任何团体（无论是否具有宗教性质）告诉其追随者，作为其信仰/成员身份的一部分，他们必须同意将整个身体、器官及所有部分捐赠给该组织的成员使用。允许处于权威地位的人，尤其是那些能够承诺死后激励的宗教领袖，强迫其追随者/成员将身体和器官交给他们，这是不道德的。
Consider even more what happens when a specific organization, like say one of the prosperity churches, has the inside track on fresh organs for their membership only, and, oh say, they ask you for a donation when you find yourself in need of a kidney. Oh, they are not asking you to pay for it, that would be illegal, just, perhaps, a $100K donation to the church?
更进一步思考，当某个特定组织，比如某个繁荣教会，仅为其成员优先获取新鲜器官资源时，会发生什么情况。哦，比如当你需要肾脏时，他们却要求你捐款。他们并非让你直接支付器官费用——那将是违法的——但或许，只是向教会捐赠10万美元？
See how quickly an unethical person could twist this to their own gain?
看看一个不道德的人能多快地将此扭曲以谋取私利？
That is why no, you cannot specifically say only one type of person can, or cannot, receive your organs.
这就是为什么不能，你不能明确地说只有某一类人可以或不可以接受你的器官。

Your organs are not “Christian”. They are as secular as any atheist‘s or Muslim's and will work or be rejected from any body not genetically compatible.
您的器官并非“基督教徒”。它们与任何无神论者或穆斯林的器官一样世俗，将在任何非基因兼容的身体中工作或被排斥。
Your heart appears to be anti-Christian, since it has no compassion for the suffering.
你的心似乎反基督教，因为它对苦难毫无怜悯之心。
Consider that Jesus said that on the last day the King will divide the [inhabitants of all the] nations of the earth into the sheep and the goats, and the only criteria he gave for the sheep being welcome to the land God had ordained for them to inherit is that they cared for his brothers and sisters when they were needing care and support. (Matthew 25) The goats did not aid the King's sisters and brothers, so they were to go into the lake of fire.
考虑到耶稣说过，在末日那天，君王要将地上所有国家的居民分为绵羊和山羊。他给出的唯一标准是，绵羊之所以能进入上帝为他们预备承受的国度，是因为他们在君王兄弟姐妹需要关怀和支持时给予了照顾。（马太福音25章）山羊没有帮助君王的兄弟姐妹，因此他们将被投入火湖。
So, since you put a caveat against giving the organs you don't need to “atheists”, you won't be among the sheep but among the goats. The King won't give you mercy because you won't be merciful.
所以，既然你对将不需要的器官捐给“无神论者”设置了限制，你将不会属于绵羊之列，而是属于山羊之列。国王不会施予你怜悯，因为你不会仁慈。
Dan Lenski
Nearly all Christian groups expect that their members will bear witness to the message of Christianity, in order to spread the faith and the possibility of salvation to their fellow human beings. (Depending on which Christian denomination you belong to, you may believe that eternal salvation can be achieved exclusively through sincere Christian faith.)
几乎所有基督教团体都期望其成员为基督教的信息作见证，以便向同胞传播信仰和救赎的可能性。（根据你所归属的基督教教派，你可能会相信永恒救赎只能通过真诚的基督教信仰来实现。）
This is why Christianity has long encouraged and hastened to accept conversions at the end of life, perhaps most famously by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.
这就是为什么基督教长期以来鼓励并促使人们在生命尽头接受皈依，或许最著名的例子便是罗马皇帝君士坦丁大帝。
I’m not a follower of Christianity, but if I were, the choice of whether or not to offer my organs to atheist recipients would be an obvious one to me…
我并非基督教徒，但若我是，是否将器官捐献给无神论受赠者对我来说会是一个显而易见的决定……
If an atheist in need of an organ transplant does not receive a donation, he or she will likely die very soon, forestalling the possibility to accept the Christian faith. If this happens because a Christian donor expressly denied his or her organs to atheists, this could be seen as a very real failing on the part of the donor to spread the Christian message and seek salvation for a fellow human being.
如果一位需要器官移植的无神论者未能获得捐赠，他或她很可能很快死亡，从而失去了接受基督教信仰的可能性。如果这种情况发生是因为一位基督教捐赠者明确拒绝将其器官捐给无神论者，那么这可以被视为捐赠者在传播基督教信息和为同胞寻求救赎方面的一个非常真实的失败。
On the other hand, if an atheist receives an organ from a Christian donor, thereby prolonging his or her life, there’s a very real possibility that he or she will accept Christianity. Perhaps even more so if the recipient learns about the sincere Christian faith of the donor.
另一方面，如果一位无神论者接受了来自基督教捐赠者的器官，从而延长了他或她的生命，那么他或她接受基督教的可能性是真实存在的。如果接受者了解到捐赠者真诚的基督教信仰，这种可能性或许会更大。
