En mars 1980, La Tour de Garde a dit que les greffes d’organes étaient 'a matter for personal decision' et qu’un comité judiciaire de congrégation 'would not take disciplinary action if someone accepted an organ transplant'.

The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers (congregation action over an organ transplant)”

15 mars 1980 · p.31 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“It is a matter for personal decision. (Gal. 6:5) The congregation judicial committee would not take disciplinary action if someone accepted an organ transplant.”

Question: 'Should congregation action be taken if a baptized Christian accepts a human organ transplant, such as of a cornea or a kidney?' The answer says 'Some Christians might feel that taking into their bodies any tissue or body part from another human is cannibalistic' and that others 'may feel that the Bible does not definitely rule out medical transplants'.
