Hello: I am saying that from what I was told by many people that some places (in Europe especially) refuse to give organs to Jews/Israelis because organ donors themselves have preference for receiving organs and that they think that all Jews refuse to donate organs. That’s the Eivah I’m talking about and it’s quite direct. Although you are correct in this case in that any Melacha for a Refuah can be turned into a Melachah Sh’ein Tzarich L’gufa. Does the Chassam Sofer actually say that himself though? I feel like it’s one of his Tzdadim maybe but I don’t quite recall.
