The word submission has many connotations in today's context. If we further expand on what is meant by submission and how one gets to that state, it would be really helpful. Ultimately it's a willing submission.

@ASRcommittee #ethicssor in Jewish Bioethics post-mortem tissue donation is a clear violation of the value of returning the body God has given intact but the competing value of saving a life (or significantly improving a life, eliminating suffering) may be the higher value.

@ASRcommittee #ethicssor in Jewish Bioethics, tissue donation must be considered from varying viewpoints. If donating tissue will cause one's own body to be permanently changed for the less or place one life at risk it is not licit, even if it saves the life of another.

@ASRcommittee #ethicssor The number 1 imperative in Jewish environmental ethics is to live sustainably, not just for oneself but for others. Respecting the dignity of the earth and also of its people - protecting the most vulnerable.
