"Some Buddhists believe that the body should be left quietly for a period of time after having been declared medically dead, as consciousness may not immediately lose connection with the body. In view of this a Buddhist's attitude to organ donation may depend on the timing – on how immediately after death organs would need to be harvested. Some may feel that there may be the possibility that there remains an awareness of what is happening to the body for a while after death, so that if organs are removed immediately it could be distressing to the mind-stream of the deceased."
