The President of the Dominican Bishops Conference, Msgr. Ramon Benito de la Rosa y Carpio, and Health Minister Bautista Rojas, expressed support for the donation of human organs. In a speech titled, "Life, donating love," de la Rosa urged the Dominican public to donate organs to fellow citizens as a gesture of love and humanity towards other Dominicans. He explained that the Catholic Church is in favor of transplants and organ donation because it represents the transfer of life from one person to another. During his speech, the archbishop however did comment on the Church's disapproval about euthanasia and abortion, according to the Caribe newspaper. The prelate lectured on "The Position of the Church towards Organ Donations", during a public function at Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) yesterday.
