FUNDAMENTAL Dear fellow victims of watchtoweriano:

Ajalvireño El Topo, from his cave of the moor, we are delighted this Monday morning with the appropriate document and could not be more theocratic. Our man, feel the breath of the actors in his neck Watch, says it is close, but it is a brave apostate who is not afraid. The link above, refers to the page where you hang this document and the author of it and your email.

As in English, the regular reader of the blog, you can not learn and for this reason, the translation department apostate we translate the most significant phrases in the language de Cervantes. The article has a fundamental importance as it deals with the health rights of Jehovah's Witness patients who are children and adolescents ... children. It is an article with an extensive bibliography, making a revision of the laws caesarean in countries like USA, UK, Canada, Australia. The subject is approached from an ethical point of view and is valuable for both the medical staff to the judiciary. A apostates we like to be properly informed and, therefore, drink from other sources that are not limited exclusively to religious denomination concerned. About medical issues, we prefer to consult doctors ..., for example!

Now, let's dissect the highlights of that article. Going for you!

Society of Jehovah's Witnesses (JW), a Christian fundamentalist sect, are better known among laymen and medical professionals to refuse blood products, even though it may mean death. Since the introduction of the doctrine that prohibits blood in 1945, parents who are Jehovah's Witnesses have litigated to enforce their religious beliefs as responsible for their children based on their beliefs religious and their right to educate their children as they see fit. Adolescents between the Jehovah's Witnesses have refused blood components based on their religious beliefs, regardless of the opinions of their parents.

"Parents can choose to become martyrs themselves. But the reasons that allow them to choose that, under identical circumstances do not allow their children about martyrs." ( Prince v Massachusetts, 1944, 321 U.S. 158 )

CONCLUSION

On to opposition from parents to blood components on a religious basis, the courts of the Western world are of the opinion that the welfare of children is of paramount importance and a matter of taste blood. It must take into account the views of parents and medical treatment provided to accommodate this possible, but if a conflict arises, the interest in the child must come first.

With regard to adolescents, there is no global consensus on the legal position of adolescents refusing blood transfusions, but recent cases suggest that the jurisprudence of the United Kingdom in this matter is the most accepted. While many children grow up in communities of Jehovah's Witnesses, never experience the "outside world", the judiciary would be wrong if they do not give them that opportunity. Religion is a powerful and persuasive voice, but also a single conviction. Limited experience in life can not give someone the opportunity to rationalize a religious belief that could lead to death.

The full article is invaluable to see how they deal with cases of children and adolescents who are involved in the need for therapy with blood transfusions or blood components in Western countries. The article has extensive bibliography (106 references). Unable to translate the entire article - in view of the lack of availability of time - we sent the beginning and conclusion of the article, where a very brief - but very accurate - summarizes the ethical aspect of the matter.

agree with the author that the children do not have the necessary life experience to make a decision of this magnitude ..., where game can be in life. We, the rebels, we have the experience typical of how the mind can change, so yesterday was a dogma of faith, today we consider it a hoax infumable.

leaders of religious faith - especially the Governing Body - have all the money in the world to be in the best of the best hospitals and doctors and often in advance and all necessary preparations. But they dictate doctrine to seven million Jehovah's Witnesses who do not have such financial means and that this may mean certain death when the time refusing to planned surgery. Not to mention a medical emergency!

The Governing Body have the money of our donations to buy and sell property, to invest in mortgage bonds and hedge funds in the stock market ... but never expected a Fund to Assist Economic JW patients requiring surgery without blood and The main problem for this surgery is the economic hardship by the Jehovah's Witness patient. There is an element of religious faith to buy Kingdom Halls to be deed on behalf of the confession, but there is no fund to help save lives of Jehovah's Witnesses themselves ... that is the Christian moral Watch Tower Society and its powerful body Ruler!

This time, we did not mention coercion experienced by adult members of this religious confession freely and voluntarily choose to accept medical treatment such as blood transfusion. Until recently, they are automatically ejected from the religious denomination now sweetening out, use another linguistic term disassociation, which, although different word, has the same consequences that the expulsion: all your friends you withdraw greeting and your immediate family restricted to a minimum the deal with you ... a real stoning social and family! Thereafter you will be socially dead. https: / / picasaweb.google.com / formerwitness / CENTRODEDOCUMENTACIONPERMANENTESOBRELAEXPULSIONENLOSTESTIGOSDEJEHOVA #
