If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

by nicolaou in

a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

i was surprised to say the least!.

i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

With mental capacity he decided he did not want to go to hospital he would want me to support his choice that he had a right to make.

Supporting a choice on medical procedure as opposed to assisting suicide in my view is different.

I think it is viewed differently in the eyes of the law. I feel I have a choice. There is no guarantee the medical procedure will save the persons life. Like my mother, not having the chemo didn't result in her death. I would not have forced my opinion on to her if she could not make her own decision. I'm not taking life.

It seems as if you are trying to force your opinions on to me.

Cofty i don't see that age makes a difference to the morality.

My mother had cancer and had surgery to be followed by chemo. She refused. I didn't argue with her. It was her choice. I don't see that as immoral. This is 20 years ago.

cofty I think people have a right of choice to medical procedures and I respect that. I have known of an ex witness who still did not want a blood transfusion it was a choice. I suppose my choice would be to uphold a persons freedom of choice in the matter.

I think assisting suicide is illegal while not having a blood transfusion isn't.

My father told me he did not want to go into hospital again. When he later lost mental capacity I upheld his choice. if he had told me he did not want s blood transfusion I would respect his choice.

Answer to Cofty's question. Probably I would respect their wishes.

Have we become what we despise so much?

by Tenacious in

the majority of members who tend to join this forum have been hurt possibly even traumatized sometimes to the point of wanting to end their lives.

upon joining the forum, new members are welcomed with open arms, welcome messages start pouring in, "likes" are freely given, a false sense of security is promoted where a member is free to speak his mind without having to worry about the wt gestapo.

again, similar to how potential converts are welcomed and "love bombed" upon entering a kh for the first time.

I don't think that I despise anything. I just post here sometimes

Maybe we should look at what those who claim to be his spokesman have said and see what it reveals

I chatted with one of my kids about knowing God. Maybe we can only know what he reveals.
