Was he a Jehovah’s witness as well?
If yes then he probably already had that conversation with her and they agreed that neither of them or their kids would get blood under any circumstances

If he wasn’t a Jehovah’s Witness, then she’s wrong and the family can sue her for damages

Many have echoed your conclusion here, but it is not entirely correct. If the family really wants to take her up, she is in serious trouble. The point/fact is how does she PROVE that the husband consented to her not allowing transfusion under any cirscumstance? The laws of the country tho shambolic is still weightier than any gaddem doctrine, and I can tell you not all jw follow all the rules all the time. She is in soup, unless she is lucky to escape the wrath of her in-laws somehow. If it was someone who wasn't of age eg their child, that can hold water, but for a full grown man she would have to prove explicitly that he was on board with the plan, but she can't cos he is dead as a door nail

Modified: I just saw you used the word 'probably', which def suffices

Kajaard:


I do the same as well. They are extremely weird people.

Serena Williams is really weird

The man is a Jehovah witness, he would have taken same decision, why blame the wife, I had a distant uncle who died this way, it was even his choice

Which Law?

Have you ever considered Brushing up on the reality of marriage Law in Nigeria ?

In the best interest of the patient, the Hospital should have revoked her NOK status and acted in the best interest of their patient..........

If they are aware that the husband shared the same faith with the wife before his demise, they should free the woman. It is their faith and he should go and face his creator and explain why they don’t take blood during ailment that requires it but some of them can fornicate fornicate like dogs.

There is location or place related

Their is human and people or living things related

I tire for Nigeria English teachers for this generation

Death is death.

So sad

Jsbns

Kobojunkiee:
The woman was married to the man at the time of his death, so there is technically nothing wrong with what she did.

Being in charge of the bills does not give one legal guardianship so the in-laws are wrong in assuming they should have been consulted on the matter. So the in-laws should probably work on accepting their loss and moving on from this.

You are a very big fool for your comment.How can u joke with ur husbands life because of church doctrine? Are u for real? God will surely judge both of u fools

These witness fellas will never tell you how many failed Armageddon calculation their cult leader made back then. Confused lot

NoToPile:


Since the guy is a Jehovah witness then he most likely had such beliefs and I belive the wife was upholding his beleiefs.

Are you saying that he cannot change or adapt his belief in the face of superior medical advice when faced with death and life situation?

By bringing the patient to the hospital and not the church, you have left the realm of religion to medical science therefore the edits of medical practice must applied for the sustenance of life and not some religious beliefs

In medical practice, an unconscious patient cannot give an informed consent therefore requiring doctor's intervention in this situation.
The fact is, Medical science or practice requires blood transfusion in order to sustain his life given that the surgery was successful but the doctor due to his negligence and wife's religious belief led to the man's death! How could the doctor allow the wife's religious belief to take the front burner over what was purely a medical decision?
HOW?
WHY?

Britishpea:

What are you talking about There is no law that places spouse over family in case of healthcare decisions, on their spouses.
Some medical facilities can only decide to lift the spouse a step ahead of the family in hierarchy but no law stipulates that. Family only respects the tradition of marriages in terms of such decisions. Yes a wife or husband can take whatever decision by him/herself and no one can castigate her or him for doing same way no law can castigate family’ if they do same.

Medical facilities can do circumvent the Law how? By what power abeg?

TRASH.
She should have buried him without consulting his family as well.

I see.
But she could get them involved in the payment yeah?.

Kobojunkiee:
Why would she have to consult those who are considered infidels by the JW cult standard in such thing when even the law does not mandate she communicate these things to them.

What is the difference between this blood transfusion and blood oath (cultism).

No JW is compelled not to take blood. I know them very well. It's a personal decision of each JW based on their conscience. Even if someone goes ahead and take a transfusion, it doesn't mean they're no longer JW. It's an individual thing.

emmanuelbrown26:

The stupid wife killed person pikin bi that. She stupidily killed the man, how could she sign such an agreenebt without d consent of d inlaw, if na my sister, i go still tell am say na she kill d husband

You will be surprised that she might get married next month, to another JW brought to her by their leaders.

foolbuster:


This is a case of manslaughter. The husband's family should sue( or maybe not if she has kids) but she deserves to serve some jail time. if she can let her husband die because of her faith, she should also have no problem serving jail time because of her faith too.

I don't know what this people have turned Christianity into, jesus saved lives.
Who is the good samaritan?

Something similar happened years back. An elder from my church gave his daughter to a JW fine chap and she almost passed away during labour owing to complications. The doctors informed the man he needed to go and buy blood to keep her alive, Oga said it was against his faith.

Fortunately for the elder, one of the doctors know him personally so he called him and told him of the development over the phone. Elder stormed the hospital late in the night in a short, and in the company of his wife, some of their children and some church members. JW chap received multiple slaps that night but still insisted transfusion would not happen as they were married.

Elder ordered one of his sons to get blood on credit in the hospital blood Bank. Luckily, the doctor's note to the bank saved the lady. JW chap thanked his god later, claiming it willed him to have kept her alive.

Elder took his daughter and grandchild home, and told JW's family that they were no longer interested in the marriage and that it was off.

Gaddafi1:


Doctors don't carry out surgery without making sure of the availability of standby blood. Please check the story again from LUTH and feed us with the correct information.

.... Very correct

UMUAZEE:
You don't know what you are talking about. Being married to someone doesn't give you the right to deny them the right to live. Her decision basically killed the husband when he could have easily survived. In western world she is going to jail.

Please think well before you write rubbish make i too know no go kill you or somebody close to you.

Deny them right to what not? Do you understand this issue at all?

The women upheld the man's own JW, kind of like his will in all of this, and you say what now?

Kobojunkiee:
Why would she have to consult those who are considered infidels by the JW cult standard in such thing when even the law does not mandate she communicate these things to them.

J.W isnt a cult. Perhaps not accepting blood transfusions is also their way of understanding the Bible. We have several extreme beliefs of various churches, all who claim are base on the Bible. Besides, it could be that, that’s the man’s end and necessary not because of the transfusion he didn’t get. Last two years, my uncle died whilst still on transfusion drip

Lexusgs430:

It’s never done that way the hospital has to respect the medical choice of their patients if not they could be liable

Typing trash as usual. The law only gives the man himself the consent to take such a decision. Whereby he is incapacitated,the doctors are allowed to transfuse him. Read before coming to type trash from your anal smelly hole

I will have to eat that woman with ketchup and fries before I can be appeased.

What a foolish religion and doctrine!

Even the white man that gave you religion is not foolish, how come Africans choose to be extremely foolish.


The moment they started telling you a man in Israel died for your sins in Africa, It was the greatest foolishness Africans ever fell for!

Now where is the god she is serving? Descending from heaven?

For mentioning the movie "designated survivor"
tells you know whatsup

LordIsaac:
This Jehovah witness sef. I saw the scene of one in the movie, "Designated Survivor," and I shuddered at the extremities of man's belief.

longetivity:
That is how one Jehovah witness woman died one time in my area because she didn't go to the hospital for treatment when she was seriously sick. Bunch of ignorant mfs

She didn't go to hospital? Or she didn't accept blood at the hospital? U sabi lie sha! Jehovah's witnesses do go to hospitals.. some of them are even Doctors, nurses.. etc Re write your comment and stop the lies!

I will not blame the wife, rather the Quark Dr.should be arrested immediately.
It's professionally espexted of him to have secured blood for transfusion after the surgery, or to make sure the family of the deseased husband is properly informed.

The woman should be held liable because the deceased husband wasn't a minor and as such, she has no right to decide whether there won't be any blood transfusion.
