People suffer from eye blindness, kidney, lungs, etc. Would it be immoral to preserve human spare parts from a dead person to help people living but suffering from defective organs? Do modern legal systems forbid this? How about religions? I do not know about what is provided in modern legal systems national or international. As far as religion is concerned, one can argue in favour of preserving human spare parts from a dead person based on reasons. The key mission of any religion is good deed. One of the good deeds is, thus, helping people to live without suffer. Thus, preserving human parts from a dead person in order to replace the damaged organ of a living person is more than good. It is understood that individuals donate one of their kidney and other parts to their relatives or anyone whom they love or like to help at their will and there is no legal as well as religious restriction or condemnation in this regard. But can it be immoral to legalize it by international laws or conventions to help people living but suffering from damaged organs?

I believe that if it is the choice of the person who would be donating their body to science or donating their organs to help another person.

In Canada you can sign your dead body away on your driver's licence, you can choose to have your body burned in an oven or even buried in the ground.

To take human flesh and use it in such a way without the consent of the person would be evil and viciously opposed.

We need spare parts. If someone wants to donate their's in the end, that is up to them.

The only immoral act would be to do this without permission.
