Respect
for God means letting their child die: A seven-year-old boy in
Australia needs a liver transplant and a blood transfusion to live, but
his parents are refusing
the life-saving treatment because such medical procedures violate their
sincerely held religious beliefs as Jehovah’s Witnesses.
A hospital in Brisbane is currently appealing
to the Australian Supreme Court to allow the young boy a life-saving
blood transfusion after his parents refused to consent due to their
religious beliefs.
Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital is hoping
legal intervention will allow the boy to receive the transfusion, which
is an essential component of the liver transplant operation the child
needs to live.
The parents have consented to the liver transplant, but refuse to consent to a blood transfusion, which is almost always necessary in such procedures.
Jehovah’s Witness Parents Refuse Life Saving Treatment for Son
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
