Religious aspects of medical ethics include refusal of treatment, reproduction, organ transplants, and rituals relevant to dying/death/burial, among others.
It is not possible to include links to all religious groups. If you are interested in a particular religion and its beliefs/practices about health/medicine/dying, use a search engine such as Google.
