We do not force our views on others
JW's force their views on this issue constantly on their children. They literally let their children die by forcing their own religious dogmatic nonsense about blood transfusion on those kids.
These kids didn't come up with that nonsense.
Their doctors most definatly didn't.
Over here in Belgium, you can be charged with murder for such things under certain circumstances.
A doctor is obligated to respect your wishes if you are an adult. But if it concerns adults deciding for their minor children, different story.
The doctor has to act in the patient's best interest. And respecting the wish of a third party (the parents) to sign a death warrant for that patient, isn't exactly in the patient's best interest.
So the doctor is simply going to do the transfusion anyway if he deems it necessary.
but feel duty bound to warn people about an outdated medical procedure that some doctors still cling to. After watching the video, would you still want blood? If you knew that there were safer and more effective treatments, wouldn't you prefer them?
Blood is given for many different reasons in many different situations and a single propaganda video isn't going to cover them all.
