    Sadly it's their religion and their beliefs.

    What happens if baby needs the blood transfusion and gets it, does the parents belief have implications for the baby then? What does there religion say if baby gets it?

    Edit: will read previous thread!

    Not a lot. If its outside the parents control (which in this case it is) then there's nothing that can be said about it.

    For the record i don't agree with the refusal of blood transfusions.

    Good, I agree with the ruling. Putting one's own life in danger due to a religious belief is merely stupidity, doing it to an innocent baby who has no choice in the matter is cruel and criminal as well as stupid. Hiding behind religious beliefs is no excuse.

    I do not agree with their beliefs but accept that is their beliefs, that we are all entitled to it.
    My only concern is for the child. will Baby be abandoned due to the blood transfusion or accepted regardless?

    Regardless of the religious / legal debate, on a basic human level, how could you allow your child’s life to be jeopardised, even an animal will fight to the death to defend it’s young.

    Obviously the religious brainwashing overrides the paternal instinct and common sense.

    If it was just the parents involved, then that would be fair enough. Adults refusing treatment for themselves on religious grounds is natural selection in action.

    But these lunatic beliefs are being forced on a baby who has no say in the matter. Any parent who willingly lets a child die should be charged with murder.

    If the child does require a blood transfusion and is kept by the parents imagine what it would be like for the child knowing your parents would of preferred for you to die .

    Can we not just come up with some contract for all expectant parents that the childs best interests will be come first if such matters arise regardless of their religion. If they dont like it they can p**s off to some other country to have the kid.

    If people like this would rather see their child die due to their belief then that child should be protected and be put up for adoption for the countless others that value its life.

    Idiots.

    Just....idiots.


    Is it not rather clear that the line means (somewhat seinsibly) blood should not be drank? As long as the doctors dont decide to take the piss by putting the tube in a patients mouth they should be laughing.

    Any JW`s read boards who would give an opinion?

    No. Baby will be loved and accepted, regardless.

    I'm sure if this was a rule of the catholic church as opposed to the jehovah's witnesses there'd be a real mob rule style attack here somehow.

    this happens my friends brother, he needed a transfusion parents let him have one and changed religion because of the backlash.
    I know its ther belief etc etc but surely the life of your child is more important imo

    This happens every day. It's why I slam the door in their faces when they call, but advise them to back away from the door incase i take their nose off and they need a transfusion.

    LMAO.
    Thank God for this ruling.
    Hopefully the kid will now be taken from these fcuking lunatics (until they see sense atleast) and looked after properly.
