The christian sciencentist view on any type of medicine is scary to me. I have a good friend who was brought up Christian Scientist. I truly think that it led to some of the problems he's had in his life.
Shit, when he was a kid, he broke his arm and rather than take him to a doctor, his mother set it for him. Imagine that. If you don't think that's wrong, I'd love to hear why.
Regarding the specific view that organ transplants circumvent "God's Will", if there was a God, and that God was cruel enough to let us die of a liver destroyed by lupus and he didn't want us to save ourselves, I imagine he'd have enough influence to make so that such procedures were impossible.
Accepting death when there's a chance to avoid it reeks of apathy. If a person was truly fatalistic, they'd believe that not only inaction is pre-ordained, but also action. Meaing that to accept your fate is to do or not do what you want because that's what's gonna happen.
