Should Blood Transfusions be forced?

by Fisherman in

1.there are times when a doctor decides that the only life saving medical treatment -short of a miracle- is a blood transfusion.

in such a case, what should be done when a person refuses treatment on religious grounds and why?.

2. should a person be allowed to "mutilate" his body and why?.

In the US, years ago, a pilot crashed his small plane. He was burned from head to toe -a mass of burned flesh. He wanted to die. He asked to die. He was forced treatment -in agony until many months later or years later he survived blind and disfigured and crippled. He spoke, he said that now he wanted to be alive even in his state but that the pain he had to endure was unberable and that he wanted to die but was forced to suffer.

OC, it is arguable whether or not a person should be forced to put someone else's blood or something else inside his body.

I read the Italy cases. It seems to me that the Caesar of Italy has already pre-decided on all cases of JW refusing blood when doctors deem it medically necessary.
