Comments on: Boy Who Refused Blood Transfusion Dies

Jehovah's Witness, 14, Dies Hours After Judge Upholds His Right To Refuse Medical Treatment

Cdfoxtrot, WRONG again. Your statements imply some sort of moral equivalency between Islam and non-Islam religions. ....Muslims kill thousands and THOUSANDS of people each and every month, worldwide. ....How dare you even TRY to compare Islam--a religion of pure unrelenting death--with ANY other religion? How dare you!

robertkjjj, so you get to decide what''s moral? There are an estimate 1.2 billion Muslims in the world, the vast majority of whom are perfectly decent, stable people. If they weren''t and were the deranged people you want to pretend they are, you wouldn''t be able to sit at your computer and type up your idiotic postings. And I''d like to know the basis for your claim that Muslims murder "thousands and THOUSANDS of people each and every month". It''s totally made up. You should go back to watching Faux News, where you can foam at the mouth in the company of like-minded people.

"How many being killed by Christians now?" -- There may not be any Christian suicide bombers, but we have a Christian President who thinks God told him to invade Iraq and that caused many thousands of deaths.

most people here and i use most (you know who you are) are sad... you say that people should ba able to do what they want in some cases and then in others they shouldn''t... seriously.. *** or get off the pot... then people throw religion into the mix... great... people the bible is a great book.. but it is like lord of the rings... it is all made up... it is the single minded individuals who use this for their reasons... the kid did what he wanted... so let him RIP...

This boy, by law, was not deemed to have sufficient maturity to drive a vehicle, vote in an election, or have a drink, but the judge deemed him mature enough to reject treatment that led to his own demise.

Absurd.

You know, a person has to have his/her conscience respected, no matter what. To see a lot of people upset about a person making an individual choice in such a matter makes me wonder. It make me wonder why, for example, when people make the choice to pollute their lungs with tobacco smoke, why their isn''t the same outrage because we all know what the results are going to be? Also, we know that smokers will no doubt pollute the air that others breathe, and it is a known fact that people have died of lung cancer from second hand smoke. But, how come I don''t see the outrage there? Why is there more outrage about people exercising their right to decide regarding medical treatment than there is when the question of smoker''s rights are considered?

Ok here''s a thought, WHY did he go to a childrens hospital IN THE FIRST PLACE knowing he wouldnt do anything to to help himself anyway ?...........at 14 he dosent know enough about life an cant do anything againt the elders so if they so yes he had to.......

Cdfoxtrot, WRONG again. Your statements imply some sort of moral equivalency between Islam and non-Islam religions. Nonsense. It''s a matter of degree and perspective, concepts which a normal brain should be able to grasp. Muslims kill thousands and THOUSANDS of people each and every month, worldwide. How many being killed by Christians now? How many suicide bombings by Methodists these days? How many people have Jehovah''s Witnesses even allowed to die, 3? 5 ? How often does a Catholic walk into a church and machine-gun everyone there? How often does a Jew kidnap and behead innocents? How many Buddhists hijack planes? How often does a Baptist hold a school of 300 kids hostage and then bomb and kill them all? How often does a Lutheran drive a truck bomb into a crowd of people, screaming "Holy Jesus Christ!" at the top of his lungs? How dare you even TRY to compare Islam--a religion of pure unrelenting death--with ANY other religion? How dare you!

The reason this child died is because of BIG BLOOD AND BIG PHARMA. They have purposely held back excellent research for decades on artificial blood substitutes because IT IS A 10TH THE PRICE OF BLOOD.
Get the picture? I think you do. It why greed makes decisions in this world not logic.

Bloodless substitutes are universally compatible and can save crucial time because it can be transfused to any blood type without any tests.

Can result in quicker healing and shorter hospital stays over a person who was transfused with blood.

Bloodless substitutes are non-toxic and disease-free.

In a disaster situation, blood substitutes does not need to be refrigerated.

The shelf life makes it so that it does not deteriorate.

In a disaster situation, bloodless substitutes are composed of readily and reliably available materials for the large-scale population.

Bloodless substitutes contain ingredients that are completely understood making it predictable and also can be manipulated.

Look at the HUGE ADVANTAGES over blood at a 10th of the price per unit.

I feel sorry that the kid was influenced by religious nuts to the extent that he needlessly died. Wake up and shuck off these weird religious delusions!!
