Eeya...sorry about your lost.....sincerely, i sympathise with you. Now, to d issue, im not trying to support those pple o but let me ask, was your wife practising your religion or her pple's religion? If its her pple's religion, then you should have been familiar with some of their principles. If its your religion, i dont see the relevance of their authority on you, you should have done d right thing b4 involving them at all. That being said, i will advise you not to press any charges against them, what is done is done already and no amount of court charges can undone what has already been done. Allow your wife's soul to rest and forget about them, so that you dont spend additional money after loosing your wife....use d money for d kids d deceased left behind, rather than wasting it on court cases, and let God judge between you. Another angle i look at it is dt, even if she got d blood transfusion and she was destined to die that day, she would still die. So, let them be and let your wife's soul rest. It is well! Once again, sorry about your loss, and may God give you d fortitude to beat d loss. 16 Likes |

greatgod2012: Eeya...sorry about your lost.....sincerely, i sympathise with you. I have to strongly disagree with the bolded greatgod. This attitude of leaving people for God to judge is a major reason why we will never progress in Nigeria. Why are we just not interested in holding people accountable for their actions? The law suit is not to bring his wife back, it is to hold the people complicit in her death accountable. If we can't demand accountability from the people you deal with on a day to day basis, how can we demand it from our leaders who we will probably never have any physical contact with? That is how we are leaving them to God as the people are being fed to the dogs on a daily basis. Honestly whenever I hear that phrase as a deterrent for demanding accountability it makes my stomach churn. We already have the legal system we need to get judgments against offenders, why should God come down specially to come and judge again? It's the same as praying for healing without availing oneself of the God given opportunity for medical care. That being said, I don't believe that the man in question has a case against her parents unless they had a power of attorney for the lady that died. Without a power of attorney, they are not the ones that should be making her medical decisions. If they were making the medical decisions directly, then his case should be against the doctor/hospital for taking orders from the family without legal documentation to support that. The more likely scenario is that the woman decided herself not to get a blood transfusion based on her own religious convictions upon which she was raised. The onus has to fall on the woman herself for making such a decision concerning her own health. Whether she got spiritual guidance from her family members or not, she still called the shots at the end of the day. I actually will put some blame on him for not chasing her family out of the hospital with a damn cutlass when they were helping to put the life of his wife in jeopardy with their spiritual counsel. Or was the guy estranged from his wife and is just now flexing? I certainly don't know all the specifics but these are my immediate thoughts. 32 Likes |

It's absolutely appalling. Did she consent or was subjected to the rejection process by her parents? |

NIGERIAN BUSY BODIES WILL NEVER LEARN TO MIND THEIR DOGGONE BUSINESSES! Not like they particularly care about the individuals. . .JUST CONTROL FREAKS! If she was a JW. . . then I think it is a shut case. I think her wishes were respected. THE WILL OF HER GOD WAS OBEYED! I have no problem with this. Instead of being uncessarily judgemental. . . LEARN TO RESPECT THE WISHES OF OTHERS! http://m.digitaljournal.com/article/246767?noredir=1

Gambrosia: If she was a JW. . . then I think it is a shut case.Is that basically a norm in their church? |
Re: Wife Dies After Family Refused Blood Transfusion by Nobody: 2:32am On Jan 08, 2013 |
miredia: Is that basically a norm in their church? It is a norm in Jehovah witness church all over the world I believe. At least in the US, there are countless cases of them refusing blood. They are well known in hospitals for this. |
Re: Wife Dies After Family Refused Blood Transfusion by Gambrosia: 2:32am On Jan 08, 2013 |
miredia: Is that basically a norm in their church? YES! EVEN ON THEIR DEATH BEDS. . .THEY REFUSE BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS! I work in the health care industry. The LAST thing you want to do is TRANSFUSE a patient WITHOUT HIS OR HER CONSENT! Especially JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. You will end up in JAIL FOR LIFE! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-491791/Jehovahs-Witness-mother-dies-refusing-blood-transfusion-giving-birth-twins.html Jehovah's Witness mother dies after refusing blood transfusion after giving birth to twins |

miredia: wow!! what's the theoritical basis for rejection IT IS RELIGIOUSLY BASED. . .no theoretical basis! |

Gambrosia:do they view it as an abomination or a contaminant to their spirituality. Pardon my curiosity. |
Re: Wife Dies After Family Refused Blood Transfusion by Nobody: 2:40am On Jan 08, 2013 |
miredia: oh really, I wasn't cognizant of that. Hey are u in the U.S? Yes o, they will seek every other option possible including useless options instead of taking blood even if blood is the only thing that can save their life. That's why I don't believe the man has a case against the family, ultimately, it was likely the wife's decision since this is her own personal religious conviction as well being a Jehovah's witness. Unless he's going to sue the family for brainwashing.. I am in the US. 2 Likes |

miredia: another question chief. Why would u say u can't blame them? Do you understand the implications of accepting blood from UNKNOWN sources? These are scary times. Pray that you don't have to be faced with such a choice. I commend their bravery! Too bad it is based on religious dogma! I WOULD RATHER DIE. . .THAN ACCEPT BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS FROM ANYONE!!!!!
