Broadcast News Friday, June 23, 2006 TORONTO -- Lawrence Hughes battled with the Jehovah Witness faith in a bid to see his Calgary teen daughter receive treatment for leukemia. Today he brings that battle to Toronto where he will demonstrate against the faith. He blames the religious order for his daughter's death in September, 2002. Bethany Hughes was 17 when she refused the blood transfusions. She was eventually given 38 transfusions, although she tried to pull the medical tubes from her arms while bedridden at Alberta's Children's Hospital. Jehovah's Witnesses believe it's against God's wishes for one person to take blood from another.

Everyday Ethics: Doctor has a duty to be honest

I'ma critical-care physician. An elderly Jehovah's Witness, unable to make decisions for himself, was admitted to my hospital with multiple organ dysfunction. ... [email protected] contact their news room ----------------- Why Jehovah's Witnesses reject blood transfusions.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a non negotiable doctrine of their belief system to reject blood products.
The origin of this dogma comes from their founding father Joseph Rutherford in the early 20th century.The consumption (eating) of blood was strictly forbidden under old testament law.
The Watchtower leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses saw fit to extend this prohibition over to their belief system.
They thought that the "end of the world" was coming back then (ca.1940) so there would never be much causality.
It is well into the 21st century,with the "end of the world" on hold,the Watchtower leaders have blood on their hands,with the deaths of innocent minor children.How would they account for this body count, if they repealed the 'no blood ban' now?
Many children have died since rejecting life saving blood transfusions. Why do they maintain adherence to this archaic creed at all cost?
UPDATE:The absurdity of the Watchtower rulings now allow any of the COMPONENTS of blood to be transfused, but not whole blood, and yet people are dying and lives and families are being ruined over a few old men in Brooklyn New York USA who are always changing their minds on this matter.

( Jehovah's Witnesses do use many products that are derived from blood banks {so called blood 'fractions'} but they themselves won't donate a drop)
