Catholicism views it as an act of charity, while members of the Disciples of Christ and the Episcopal Church actively encourage donation as a way to share God's love. Islam supports transplantation if the tissue is healthy, and Judaism categorizes organ donation as a commanded obligation rather than merely an act of kindness.
