SAVE LIFE

Why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses accept blood transfusions? when all other

. Jewish Believe: according to Jewish belief, saving a life is one of the most important mitzvot (commandments), overriding nearly all of the others.
. Islam: The Almighty and His Prophet (Peace be upon him) made it obligatory for us to do all we can to save a life "without any prejudice and without jeopardizing another life."
In Surah Al-Maidah 5:32 Allah The Almighty says; "….and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind."
Hinduism :Organ donation (either giving or accepting) is not accepted in principle, as it does not allow for complete release of the soul of the donor. Many may opt for transplants if they are more modern in thinking. Others may just choose to die peacefully. Blood transfusions are a little more acceptable, but not desirable. Transfusions and organ donations do not harm the receiver and are not subject to the same laws on non-violence, since the donors chose to give their bodies of their own free will (unlike animals). However, some believe that having the tissue of another person mingles the souls of the donor with the recipient. Not a common belief.
