As a matter of fact, although Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept blood transfusions, they do accept organ donations. The UCSF liver transplant team published a series of cases where they did liver transplants in Jehovah's Witnesses without blood transfusions. It has always struck me as somewhat hypocritical given the number of cells of haemopoietic origin in the liver that they will accept the organ transplants.

As a general rule, Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept organs for transplant including blood, which, like skin, is also an organ, because they believe they can not enter heaven with a transplant, however it is up to each individual as to how they interpret this; some will accept certain blood products and others are adamant and will go on to die during surgery for lack of adequate oxygenation from low hematocrit.

Jehovah's witnesses is against even the blood transplant
They believe the human body is sacred
later the body will be abused for those donors who are poor in life or may be some crimes will done in organ buying . . .later murder . . . later slauthers.
I have heard this in China where a domestic helper found dead with out eyes, and body organ.
I am not a Jehovah's witness but they are correct. They are campaigning for it. Its in their God's teaching

The only one I know of is Jehovah's Witnesses, and they don't even allow a blood transfusion. I'm glad I don't believe cos I would have been dead a long time ago without a blood transfusion.
