to carry out an emergency blood transfusion on a baby girl born prematurely last week.

Her parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses and object to the procedure on religious grounds.

What kind of monsters are these?

I wonder what their reason is for being against blood transfusions?

So a question for Mitt is if he would accept blood transfusions if as President he needed them in a life saving situation.

The question here is - Is their a right to let your kid die based on religious or personal belief reasons?

There is a right to every individual being to life. That’s what abortion and euthenasia deny.

Is there a right to death? There is a right to not prolong life into the absurd. But this country has not legislatively decided nationally if there is a right to death for “you and yours”.

That’s the abortion/euthenasia question that still goes floundering along, ending at least over a million lives early - millions if birth control is included (you know, lets the fertilized egg not attach to mom).

In the mean time - would a God forgive someone for choosing to continue life in a “corrupted/polluted” way, or is death preferable, religiously speaking? The parents prefer the latter.

Using aborted baby stem cells to cure sick people is something I would refuse on my child, me. This is not a corruption or pollution issue, as adult stem cells would be OK, but a “Fifth Commandment” issue, supporting someone’s death that wasn’t otherwise harming me.

Is there any greater calling than to weaken another man's faith?

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
