That the Witness has this kind of belief and develops a negative attitude are supported by comments of “The Bible’s” vesses, called as Genesis 9:3, Leviticus 17:10-11 and Acts 15:22-29. According to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, these verses inform that the blood involves holiness and constitutes the essence of life. Jehovah’s Witnesses oppose to blood transfusion in all cases and apply to the members, who make this application, the sanction of dismissing from religion community, which called as “disfellowshiping”. The Witnesses wrote their attitude and behaviour as a private document, which involves the expression “I don’t want blood!” They cooperate with “hospital connection commission” because they affect their process of medical treatment in accordance with their belief and direct. Jehovah’s Witnesses accept the medical treatment with alternative medical methods to blood transfusion in direction of hospital connection commission’s suggestions. Besides, while they have firstly negative attitude against transplantation because of being contrary to their belief, they left later application of transplantation to individual decisions. It is known that there is the Jehovah’s Witnesses, who is transplanted in Turkey too, like in some countries. This study has been done to put out that Jehovah’s Witnesses are against transplantation and blood transfusion and base on this to which verses.
