Some Christians believe that the body is a temple of God and must be treated as such. Therefore the body should not be used for such purposes but to be left whole to come forth in the resurrection intact.
For those who believe that the soul resides in the heart it would mean that it will also be transplanted along with the heart. A transplant would be an abomination against the will of God just as abortion and homosexuality.
There may be some that do, but most of the Christians I've known do not disagree with transplant surgery. Christians do have personal opinions on things not specifically talked about in The Bible.
Bear in mind that two of the pioneers of both heart transplants and artificial heart implants, Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey worked at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital and the Methodist Hospital in Houston, respectively. The Episcopal and Methodist churches which support these hospitals have never objected to the development of transplant surgery.
The Catholic, Baptists, Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Seventh-Day Adventist, United Church of Christ and Methodist churches all actively encourage organ and tissue donation.
The Quakers, Pentecostal, Mormon, Mennonite, Greek Orthodox, Church of Christ and Assembly of God churches do not opposeorgan donation/transplant and hold that it is a choice best left to the individual.
The Church of Christ Scientist, contrary to popular belief, does not oppose organ donation/transplant. While Christian Scientists normally rely on spiritual rather than medical means of healing, members are free to choose whatever form of medical treatment they desire, including a transplant.
According to the Watch Tower Society, Jehovah's Witnesses are not opposed to organ donation/transplantation, provided that all blood is removed from the organ or tissues before being transplanted.
