The default ruling is that it is impermissible to seek medical treatment using something unlawful, such as blood transfusions and organ transplants, unless it is a matter of necessity. This is based on Allah's saying: (And He has already detailed for you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled) [Al-An'am: 119], and the jurisprudential maxim: "Necessities permit the forbidden."
