The Maronite Catholic Church has agreed to encourage organ donors.
In an accord with Lebanon’s national committee for organ donations, the Maronite bishops’ conference will form a committee to promote donations in parishes, dioceses, and Catholic health-care institutions. Father Edgar Haiby, a spokesman for the Maronite bishops, said that the committee would reach out to the faithful, assuring them that the voluntary donation of human organs is in accord with Catholic teaching.
