Jehovah's Witnesses could ban blood transfusions for everyone. After all, it's their religious believe that this is a sin.

Jews and Muslims could ban implants of pig valves for people whose heart valves have failed, because their religious texts teach that pigs are unclean.

Catholics who believe birth control is a sin could ban it for everyone.

Hindus who believe cows are sacred could ban cow parts from being implanted.

Feel free to add to this list.
