Presuming the generic 'man' as in 'mankind' is referred to then Christians hold that humans are made in the image of God and, since they have sinned both individually and generically, mankind needed to be redeemed of 'bought back' to God. This task was undertaken by God Himself in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a man (male) in order to redeem all mankind.

Since man is made in God's image he is able to have a personal relation ship with God - this was one of the evil consequences of the fall into sin - that man lost his close personal relationship with God, which is now restored in those who accept Christ, through the Holy Spirit.

Not all lost people either accept that they are lost or realize it and so seek, in the Christian view, remedies which are not helpful in respect to their finding the only true 'peace that passes understanding.' These can include drugs and alcohol or any number of escapes from the fact that we all must die and eventually face judgment. (Hebrews 9 :27) .

Christians hold that man is much more than a highly involved animal. He stands alone, although the animals were also created by the same all-wise creator, yet not with a number of the capacities which man has. There are no discussions among the animals about who they are, nor no such highly developed language as man has.

What are the Christianity views on donor cards?

The whole point of being a Christian is our belief in Christ and doing good to all men. Some Christian views are that our blood is sacred and should not be given to others. God however has given man agency to make up his own mind, he has the right to choose. Christianity has no God given right to force a person to do anything against their will. Freedom is one of the highest laws of heaven.
