  Want court to rule that constitutional rights violated

  Apr 16, 2007 02:30 AM

  VANCOUVER–The parents of Canada's first sextuplets are heading to court today to fight the B.C. government's seizure of their babies for potentially life-saving blood transfusions.

  Their lawyer, Shane Brady, said his clients want the court to rule that their constitutional rights were violated.

  "They were never given an opportunity to defend themselves," Brady said.

  The parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, whose religion forbids blood transfusions under any circumstance.

  The parents' names, and those of their four surviving children – two boys and two girls – are under a publication ban.

  Two of the six premature children died soon after their birth on Jan. 7 – almost three months before their due date.

  On Feb. 21, the parents were to appear in B.C. Supreme Court to appeal the Liberal government's decision to allow doctors to give transfusions to three of their kids, but the court battle was postponed.

  Brady said the parents want to pursue the appeal even though the government gave control of their children's medical future back to them after they started court proceedings.

  "(The parents) want some answers and they want the court to say that what happened was unfair and shouldn't have happened." Brady said the government authorized the transfusions despite the parents' belief that they were medically unnecessary.

  If the court agrees that the parents' rights were violated it would make a declaration that it shouldn't have happened, giving the family a moral remedy, said Brady, a Jehovah's Witness.

  Sextuplet blood-transfusion case heads to court

  DOUGLAS TODD, CanWest News Service

  Published: Monday, April 16, 2007

  A group of top academics as well as former Jehovah's Witnesses are raising stark warnings about the ethical ramifications of a Vancouver court case delving into whether blood transfusions should have been forced this year on at least two of the surviving premature sextuplets of Witness parents.

  The critics of the Jehovah's Witnesses maintain the controversial case, which will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court today, reflects a pattern in which the religion fails to give adherents true freedom of choice about whether to accept life-saving transfusions.

  While some former Witnesses are promising to picket outside the Vancouver courthouse, a group of scholars and legal specialists has written a statement declaring the religion often pressures followers not to follow their individual conscience, including while deciding whether to accept transfusions......

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses have free choice on blood transfusions?

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses have free choice on blood transfusions?
  Vancouver Sun (subscription), Canada - 12 minutes ago
  A group of top academics as well as former Jehovah's Witnesses are raising stark warnings about the ethical ramifications of a Vancouver court case delving ...

  The Watchtower Society, the legal and political body representing the six-million-member religion, portrays itself as a champion of religious freedom.

  Asked whether some Jehovah's Witnesses might feel coerced into refusing transfusions, Mark Ruge, Ontario-based spokesman for the Canadian Watchtower Society, said: "People can say whatever they want. I don't have the time to counter every accusation that's made."

  The group of legal and religion specialists claims the society fights mainly for freedom for the religious organization -- not for freedom of conscience for individual Witnesses.

  "We've all come together because of the number of people who are dying," says Juliet Guichon, who teaches health law and medical ethics at the University of Calgary.

  In a recent public statement, Guichon joined two religious scholars and two former Jehovah's Witnesses with legal expertise in saying that the actions of the Watchtower Society "suggest that these leaders value doctrinal adherence more than they do the lives of their members."

  The statement says senior medical officials confronted by Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse blood transfusions for themselves or dependents are often unable to make sound ethical decisions because they're limited by their own "ignorance of the Watchtower's authoritarian rule."

  In other words, the statement claims, medical staff often don't realize individual Witnesses in medical emergencies may be overwhelmed by their fear of the religious and social repercussions of accepting a transfusion.

  Gayle, that is a very good point. It is ironic, sick, and twisted that many, if not most, JW's secretly need or want the help of the "world" although they hate this world so much. If this "spiritual paradise" bullshit that the WT claims exists is so good at caring for the sheep, why are the sheep sick and crying out for outside help?? And to the point of wishing the blame wouldn't be on them for doing what they secretly hope will happen?

  This does not bode well for the WT. Psychologically, JW's are being destroyed by the WT. Either they cannot or will not see this process taking place. They are too afraid to be the first person "on the block" to question or quit this Gestapo organization. Surely many JW's realize that the WT is full of shit. The big question is: will they do something about it and if so, when?

  The WT also sought the "help" of the UN, even if only a library. What happened to the NYC library, which is excellent? They mock modern science, but quote certain scientists as God whenever they need some "worldly" proof. More hypocrisy. If the WHOLE WORLD is in the power of Satan, then ALL WORLDLY PEOPLE should be avoided. Period.

  Danny, thanks for all the hard work you did in posting this info. The WT lawyer is a jackass. How can the JW's parents' "constitutional rights" have been violated? Where does it say anywhere that a parent has the right to murder there own children (indirectly of course by withholding a lifesaving treatment) as a "constitutional right"?? The parents would be arrested (and stoned to death for murder under the Mosaic Law) if they never fed them or gave them water, right?? So what is the difference? If the child needs more protein, the parents can decide whether to give them meat, milk, whatever. At least they fed them. But if only blood will keep them alive, then they have NO RIGHT to withhold blood because THEY think it's wrong. It's wrong even if the Bible was plain. It's wrong if God himself spoke from heaven. (I don't believe in God and if he said no blood, I'd question his sanity if the babies died.) But the very fact that the WT has changed with the wind (or bowed to political pressure) shows that it is NOT God's rules, but just the WT's. I bet in ten years, whole blood will be allowed and the WT will call it new light or act like it has always been a JW's choice.

  WT, when will you wake up and stop lying?? How can you peddle a religion based on the rules in a book (the Bible) while you break every rule in that book while doing so?? Would a Mafia hit man go door to door forcing householders to accept the magazines and a Bible at gunpoint because he wanted them to learn how to live peaceful lives?? Remember that saying: "fighting for peace is like *****ing for virginity"? Same thing. They lie and break up families while trying to prove they have peace and the "truth". The GB has an average IQ that is about the same level as a box of rocks. Maybe when Teddy boy dies, somebody at Bethel who hasn't had a lobotomy yet will start to realize that they must stop being Nazis and start acting human. Of course, they'll have to observe the "worldly people" to learn how. More irony when JW's have to watch "Satan's world" in order to learn how to be Christians. Very sad indeed.
