by Mrs Smith inhas there ever been a survey done on how many jw's die because of the blood issue?

Deaths Due to Watchtower Blood Doctrine - Statistic on one patient populat
by Marvin Shilmer indeaths due to watchtower blood doctrine - statistics on one patient population.
to date there is no vetted study of records offering estimates of overall mortality and morbidity attributable to the wts blood doctrine.
vetted literature frequently expresses adherence to the wts blood doctrine as causing premature death and/or disease, but the question of overall mortality and morbidity is very complex and, so far, unaddressed statistically.

Pulmonary embolism
by Insomniac ini just found out through the grapevine that my brother had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot went into his lung and almost killed him) a couple of weeks ago.
he's ok now, and the doc has him on blood thinners, which he'll need for the rest of his life, to keep it from happening again.
it's pretty amazing that he survived, as these things are usually only diagnosed during autopsies, it's not too often people survive them.

US SUPREME COURT RULED AGAINST PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS
by juni inand i say thank god that this abhorrent practice is not legal any longer.. i don't feel rowe vs. wade (the right of a women to an abortion) should be banned, but definitely partial birth abortions should be.. am i for willy nilly abortion?
but if there were ever a situation say a woman's health was in jeapordy i feel she should have the right to a legal ending of her pregnancy.. for those that choose abortion as a means of birth control or some other lame reason, i believe that is wrong.. how do you feel?.
