Glad to see the article said SOME JWs do not accept blood. That word "some" is probably pretty accurate.

Let me get this straight.
1) Seek out doctors who are willing and expert enough to treat the JWs.
2) Sign a waiver to induce the JW friendly doctors do the transplant.
3) Due to no-blood stance, impose risk that the transplant might be a failure (i.e. the organ should have gone to a more suitable candidate).
4) Then, when things go wrong . . . husband sticks by the blood ban.
5) Then, hubbie has the gall to sue the doctors when her blood loss didn't support the organ and she wouldn't get a transplant.
Gee, talk about tying the doctors' hands behind their backs and then kicking them in the groin. I think these doctors (and all doctors) should think twice before accepting a JW patient. And, organ donation should consider the person's refusal to take blood products into the eligibility criteria.
