Religion and Transplants.

I have made every effort to present a non-biased approach to this subject. With this page I hope to clear up some misconceptions many people have about various religious views. No major religion opposes organ transplantation, however some do have guidelines or specifics on when transplants are appropriate. The information presented below is generalized from various sources. If you feel clarification or additional comments about your religion's position is needed, please e-mail me with your concerns. Sources are available on request. This page is rather long - it may take a minute to load during peak times. Click on the arrow to see the comments.
