Stewardship of the Environment
God said ‘let us make man in our own image to have dominion over all living things … and God told man to rule over all the earth. (Genesis 1:26-30) Stewardship: ‘Looking after something so that it can be passed on to the next generation.’ Stewardship: ‘Looking after something so that it can be passed on to the next generation.’ Christians believe that with authority comes responsibility for God’s creation As stewards many Christians today feel… They should leave the Earth in a better state than they received it by reducing pollution and preserving resources. They should share the Earth’s resources helping LEDCs (less economically developed countries) without causing more pollution. God will judge them not only on their faith but how they lived. Is their lifestyle environmentally aware? Do they actively support environmental and humanitarian causes.

Explain how people can help the environment?
Can you think of 4 words that you could use for this answer all beginning with the letters “re……..”
9
Explain how people can help the environment?
Here are some ideas Reduce Recycle Repair Renewable Reuse
10
Non-Renewable Resources:
One way to help the environment is to use renewable resources instead of non-renewable ones Discuss whether the following are renewable or non renewable. Wind; natural gas; coal; hard wood; solar; water/wave; soft woods; oil Renewable Resources: Resources that can be used over and over again because they renew themselves naturally. Renewable resources usually produce little or no pollution. Non-Renewable Resources: Resources that can only be used once. Non-Renewable resources disappear once they are used and often cause pollution in their use.

Activation Imagine you had a question in the exam asking why Muslims should look after the environment. Which of the following of the 99 names of God could you mention? The light; the owner; the merciful; the peaceful; the all knowing; the judge; the preserver; the creator; the witness; the strong; the unique
14
Activation: Read this story from Islam and discuss what it tells us about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) The Prophet of Islam was once performing ablution (Wudhu) for prayers from a pot of water. A cat passed there and turned its eyes at the pot of water with a thirsty look. The Prophet realised at once that the cat was very thirsty, so he stopped the ablution (Wudhu) and placed the pot before the cat. Only after the cat had fully quenched its thirst, did the Prophet resume the ablution (Wudhu). By this action, the Prophet has shown that quenching the thirst of even a small dumb animal is a noble act full of virtue and should be given first attention before one prepares for offering prayers to God.
15
Hadiths are sayings of the Prophet Muhammad.
16
Activation Which of the following hadith are about the environment
1 “Of all lawful things divorce is most hated by Allah” 2 “Paradise lies at the feet of your mother” 3 “Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should speak good or remain silent” 4 “All people are equal as the teeth of a comb” 5 “If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field and people and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity on his part” 6 “All mankind comes from Adam and Eve” 7 “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” 8 “No father can give his child anything better than good manners”
17
“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field and people and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity on his part”
18
“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field and people and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity on his part”
19
“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field and people and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity on his part”
20
Activation Which 4 of the following reasons are best for explaining why Muslims should look after the environment Reason Ranking The Qur’an states: ‘The sun and moon follow courses exactly computed. God has set up the balance in order that you may not break the balance.’ Surah 55 Life is a test and God will judge Muslims on their faith and actions, including how well they looked after the world. Muslims should respect other people and looking after the earth will help other people There is a Hadith that says “If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field and people and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity on his part” The Prophet showed by his example that we should help animals when he helped the cat Islam teaches that God created Adam as his ‘Khalifah‘ (vice-regent; someone who looks after things on your behalf) or steward of creation. 10/11/2018

Transplant Surgery Transplant surgery is using healthy organs from a donor to replace a dying or defective organ in a patient with the result of extending their life and/or adding to their quality of life. There are two main types of organ donation: Deceased Donors: This is where people who have died have either previously given permission for their organs to be used, or, relatives of the deceased person give their permission. Living Donors: this is where living people donate parts of their body they can live without such as bone marrow and a single kidney. In 2015, 7234 people were on the waiting list for vital organ donations. However, in 2014 only 3000 transplants took place. In a survey, 90% of the public were in favour of transplant surgery yet less than 50% have registered. One third of families refuse to give permission for organs of deceased relatives to be used, even though the person has already signed the organ donation register. Transplant surgery is proven method of both saving lives (heart and liver) and improving lives (cornea and kidney). Transplant surgery can bring life out of death and joy out of sorrow, rather than being buried or burnt. ULTRA (Unrelated Live Transplant Regulatory Authority) is a government organisation set up to monitor live transplants and preventing the selling of organs. Q. Do you think a people should be able to sell their organs?
24
Christianity & Transplant Surgery
Most Christians are supportive of transplant surgery. Christians who believe in the immortality of the soul believe the body is not needed after death and so organs can be used to help the living. Christians who believe in the resurrection of the body believe they will have a transformed body not subject to physical needs. Jesus’ teaching of ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ and the Golden Rule are both in keeping with the ideals of transplant surgery However, they would be against selling organs as this can lead to the exploitation of the poor (e.g. A father selling a kidney to feed his family). However, some Christians accept live transplants but not those from deceased donors. They would see the vital organs, particularly the heart, as part of God’s creation of the individual person and so should not be used. Humans do not have the right to act like God and using the organs of a dead person to give life to another is usurping the role of God for yourself. Using organs from living people does not affect the belief in the sanctity of life and so can be used to fulfil the teachings of Jesus in the Bible. However, they would be against selling organs as this can lead to medical assistance only available for the rich and not for the poor.
25
Christianity & Transplant Surgery
Some Christians are against transplant surgery It raises a problem about when organs should be harvested (taken) e.g. A heart needs to be still beating when removed. On August 8th 2000 two girls named Jodie and Mary were born in London to a Maltese couple. They were conjoined (Siamese) twins. As the girls were sharing vital organs they could not survive if they remained in this state. Therefore, the doctor’s at the hospital wanted to separate the twins. The Roman Catholic Church attempted to gain a High Court ruling to block the separation seeing it as killing one child so their organs could be used by the other, this would be considered an evil act. The family, who were also Catholic, did not want the separation to take place either. The Catholic Church offered to look after the girls and their family in a hospice in Rome until the girls died, which was expected to be around six months later. The High Court agreed with the doctors and the separation took place on 7th November During the operation Mary died, Jodie lived and is expected to lead a full and normal life. Using organs of one person to keep another alive could be going against the will of God. God may see that person’s time as being up. In Leviticus (17:11) is says ‘the life of a being is in the blood’. Some groups, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, will not accept blood or organ transplants as it is seen as passing or mixing ‘life’ from one body to another.
26
Islam & Transplant Surgery
Most Muslims are against transplant surgery Shari’ah Law teaches that nothing should be removed from the body after death (even for a post-mortem) as Muslims believe they will need all their bodily organs if they are to be resurrected to face Allah on the last day. The Qur’an states that god has created the body of a person so to take parts from one body and put them in another is to take on the role of God (shirk). This is considered as the greatest sin in Islam. Like Christians and Jews, Muslims believe in the Sanctity of Life, meaning, only God has the right to decide how and when a person should live or die. However, Some Muslims will allow transplant using organs from a living donor. In 1995 the Muslim Law Council of the United Kingdom, issued a fatwa (a legal ruling based on Islamic law made by senior Islamic figures). This stated that it was acceptable for living donations to be made and received in keeping with Islamic law. Islamic religious lawyers agree that Islam aims to do good and not cause a burden. Therefore, if a close relative was dying and a transplant would save them, then it should be done, just as pork may be eaten if a Muslim would otherwise starve to death.
27
Who should get the organ?
Children Alcoholics/Drugs users Educated people People who have already had one transplant Uneducated people People who have been on the waiting list the longest Pensioners Convicted criminals People who are willing to pay British citizens Immigrants Tax payers People under 30 Parents People on the organ donor register themselves People not on the organ donor register themselves People on benefits People expected to die the soonest without a transplant
28
Describe the teachings about organ transplant in Christianity and Islam
Body is not needed after death. It is the soul which goes to heaven/hell. Love your neighbour Sanctity of life Only God has the right to give and take life Cannot pay for organs – exploiting the poor However some might argue that it is playing God Islam Many Muslims against organ donation & won’t carry donor cards Shari’ah – nothing should be removed from the body after death To take parts from one body & put in another is playing God (sin) But recently Muslim lawyers have said it is ok to have living donors e.g. to give away one of your kidneys
