Em março de 1980, A Sentinela disse que os transplantes de órgãos eram 'uma questão de decisão pessoal' e que uma comissão judicativa da congregação 'não tomaria medidas disciplinares se alguém aceitasse um transplante de órgão'.

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

15 de março de 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'.
