Caring for Life: Organs Caring for Life

Windows Media Part 1
A recent PBS documentary called the The Science of Miracles details the history of organ transplants and the challenges doctors and patients face searching for matching donors. WFYI Public Radio has produced a companion series called, Caring for Life. In part one, WFYI News Director Mary Hartnett looks at organ donation policy in the United States, the ethical issues that shape it and why there is shortage of transplant organs.

Windows Media Part 2
One of the first questions people ask themselves when they are deciding whether to become an organ donor is: What does my religion say? For many, their faith helps them through the traumatic process of transplantation. But for some, their beliefs prevent them from giving or receiving an organ.

In part two of the WFYI series, Caring for Life, Indiana Public Broadcasting’s Marianne Holland looks at the connection between someone’s faith and their role as an organ donor or recipient.

Windows Media Part 3
Imagine that your health or your life depends on where your name is on a waiting list. That’s exactly what is happening to nearly 99,000 Americans who need organ transplants. Demand has outstripped supply by a long shot. In part three of WFYI’s series on organ donation, Caring for Life, reporter Sandy Roob takes a look at the current shortage and explores some innovative options that could improve the situation.

Windows Media Part 4
In the fourth installment of WFYI's Caring for Life, independent reporter Colleen Iudice takes a looks at scientific breakthroughs and the future of organ transplantation. The use of genetically engineered animal organs for human transplant procedures is called xenotransplantion, and it could be reality sooner then we think.

30 Years After Jonestown
Windows Media Listen Online
(Windows Media)
Disciples World
November 2008 marks the 30 year anniversary of the Jonestown massacre. On November 18, 1978 Indiana native Jim Jones lead nearly a thousand people to their deaths in a mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. It was not the ending many would have predicted for the Butler University graduate. Jones was ordained a Methodist minister in Indianapolis in the 1950s. But Jones faced opposition to his integrated church, and he formed his own congregation and affiliated with the Christian Churches, now known as the Disciples of Christ. The People's Temple moved to Redwood Valley, California in 1965.

Sherri Wood Emmons is the managing editor of the Disciples of Christ magazine, Disciples World. The November edition focuses on the Jonestown tragedy, its survivors and the church. Emmons says Jones' activities like faith healing and mental and physical abuse had raised eyebrows among church leaders, but the good work of the Temple seemed to far outweigh the bad. For more information on the church and interviews with survivors and relatives of the victims of the Jonestown tragedy, go to www.disciplesworld.com.
