Roman Catholics forbid the use of birth control such as fertility treatments using artificial means of insemination or fertilization. The religion restricts abortion, tubal ligation, vasectomy, and they say no to contraception.

Christian Science believes in prayer and readings of Mary Baker Eddie invoking healing. It is in their doctrine that medical interventions are not tolerated.

The Jehovah’s Witness limit the source of accepting medical intervention. It is forbidden to them the use of blood transfusion and abortion.

Orthodox Jews forbid organ donation. Autopsy is also forbidden because they believe that tampering with the dead body will cause sorrow for the soul not entering heaven. In such cases of these problems develop to forensic teams which delay their research findings for legal proceedings and for evidence.
