Donating Bone Marrow

Question

Can a Jew give bone marrow to someone with whom a match has been found through a bone marrow registry, even if that person is a non-Jew?

Answer

Absolutely. Someone who refrains from doing so because the recipient is a non-Jew may be regarded as a Rasha, an evil person.
