The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers (donating one's eyes after death)”
“it does not seem that any Scriptural principle or law is involved. It therefore is something that each individual must decide for himself.”
Answer to a reader asking whether the Bible forbids giving one's eyes after death for transplant to a living person; the answer treats it as a personal matter and says no one should criticise either choice.
