Health care facilities in Oregon will be allowed to return amputated body parts to patients for cultural, spiritual or religious reasons under a new law supported by tribes.
was spearheaded by St. Charles Health System and leaders of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. For some members of the tribes, keeping a person’s body together is necessary for a smooth transition to the spirit world.
Previous state law made returning body parts either difficult or impossible. At St. Charles, body parts could be blessed and cremated, with the remains returned to the patient. “It has led to, unfortunately, the death of some of our people because they’ve chosen not to get an amputation,” Wewa said, and “our community, the family of the deceased, had to live with that trauma of losing their loved one.”
