This religious objection isn't unique. It's held by millions of pro-life Christians. Agree or disagree, you still should be respecting one's personal religious beliefs. At least, that's what I think.

Considering the recipient has tested positive for antibodies and both are willing to sign waivers, the hospital has given a rather lame reasoning why it can't perform the transplant. “Patients who have received a transplanted organ are at significant risk from COVID-19. Should they become infected, they are at particularly high risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death. … A living donor can pass COVID-19 infection to an organ recipient, even if they initially test negative for the disease, putting the patient’s life at risk." Newsflash: Patients not receiving a needed transplant is putting the patient's life at risk.

This has nothing to do with CV or risk or science. This is a Woke hospital that doesn't care if patients of a perceived political belief receive proper treatment or not.

Sorry I said the "p" word. I've already received two, Dean Wormer, double secret demerit points for apparently making "p" posts.

There are no fetal parts from aborted babies used in the development of the vaccines. There are cell lines used for development and production of *some* vaccines that are derived from cells that were obtained 35 or 50 years ago but the vaccines themselves do not contain any aborted fetal cells.

Here is an information sheet on the topic.

It would appear the main religions do not object to the vaccines. How far should we go with allowing someone to invent their own religion customized with objections to the issue of the day?
