Don't mind all these uneducated elements displaying their ignorance with 200 naira mtn data.

Dreambeat:
There is what we call autonomy in medical practice. You can only transfuse blood in this case if it's an emergency AND the person doesn't have what we call capacity to accept or decline treatment. Even with this, you have the family to contend with. It is not a that straight forward decision by medical personels. It is easier to transfuse if it was a minor in an emergency.

Most comments in the first page are horrible, As if they can control death. Every soul shall taste death at different times, whether she was transfused or not, if its her time to die she cannot escape death. How many people have been transfused and still die? RIP to her.

Why do you treat malaria and not allow it to kill you?

Why do you tiding up your environment and not allow germs to get into your body so that you can die?

Why do you run away when a vehicle is approaching you?

Why can't you just decide to end your own life now?

If blood transfusion is the cure for cancer, why are hundreds of people dying every single day around the world from camcer? Or you chose to masturbate over the religion in question? Listen to your self.

While scientists are working their butts off everyday seeking for permanent solution or cure for cancer, you are dedicating your own tine writing on how adults should make their medical decision and religious choices.

How many times have you written about your political office holders who are milking your country and starving every one of you and allowing some terrorists to murder you guys in cold blood every corner of your country?

Typical Nigerians with misplaced priorities
you see how u deviating from the main topic ,now I know reason u keep failing, baba carry u anger go front and learn how to approach intelligent discourse,see how aggressive you approaching matters than input ur opinion, if it align with my then I know you are of good intellectual imbibe, not speaking grammar with empty nuts,to proof to you that you are a dunce ,which religion of good coordinate will support such act of her,even the parable about good samaritan who even took the man to hospital, most of u do crack before coming to nairaland.com, nothing and no conviction to that,you proving that to me,what has Nigeria political, and war terrorist crisis have to do with this topic, people around you must be going through alot to understand and assimilate you,cos you are talking different things when it comes to the main subject of the matter , even people of old in bible were giving instructions and what to do to get heal,the universe and other bodies have law to follow and you must follow it to get what u want,doctor gave u instructions u go do another one and expect hat will change the situation,go tell person way get hiv or kidney problems not to take his or medication serious just because of some religious decisions, bunch of cl0wns, when you got malaria don't treat it ,have faith and take some religion decisions

what about those who were saved using the same treatment?
That's exactly what the society want you to believe. Many People also recover from different kinds of illnesses without going to any hospital.
When the sickness is higher than typhoid and malaria doctors become helpless.
I have a friend who's currently suffering from sickle cell, no doctor can help her other than to administer painkillers which does nothing for her
Re: Aunty Esther Dies After Cancer Battle & Refusing Blood Transfusion by Azazyel: 2:59pm On Dec 28, 2025
This her death is due to suicide. Why would she refuse blood transfusion which would have saved her life? Chemotherapy usually reduce pcv and when you look at the blood samples under the microscope, you'll discover numerous platelets, higher than normal due to chemotherapy effect on the RBCs. Some of the RBCs may become sickle or lose form. Even the wbcs may start to look abnormal. It's just so sad that instead of proper education, she chose religion.

JW couldn't heal her after rejecting blood transfusion

A foolish way to die is to reject every form of medical options that could save your life

Blood transfusion or not she would have still died. Same cancer that killed my dad after we did everything doctors asked us to do and wasted millions in hospitals.
Medicine is the biggest scam industry in the world. You lose your loved one you pay them, you loved one survive you pay them.

No

Science has saved many lives with treatment like blood transfusion.

It's a shame cos when religion was brought to us, they brought along healthcare, water treatment, polio vaccines etc that reduced our death rate but now we think we know better than the people that introduced the religion to us.

This is an illusion.
With all the hospitals, the current life expectancy in Nigeria is just 55 years. It used to be over 90 few decades ago without hospitals. People with terminal illnesses like cancer don't make it out of the hospitals alive. Africa was better off with our traditional medicine, even today the common approach by medical practitioners when it comes to bone related issues is painful irreversible amputation yet you'll find traditional healers without any form of medical training correctly curing complex bone fractures.

Those days of having to lose children to malaria and water borne diseases in the name of abiku

Those days of not knowing their genotype and bringing forth SS and tagged them Ogbanje

Those days of killing twins for whatever reason best known to them

So here is something profound I would like anyone to help me explain. I learn alot.

If Jesus died on the cross for us and spilled his blood for us.

If the last supper uses the term blood and flesh to indicate and signify very important aspects of our union or intimacy HOLY COMMUNION.

If the old testaments uses blood as a sin offering.

Why do people of this faith refuse blood transfusion.

Please I am not trying to demean or criticize. I simply would like insight.

I don't argue with people who don't open their mind to learn, people who don't want to respect other people opinions. I have nursed many patient who wouldn't take blood and they survived without blood transfusions, likewise, many people have been transfused and still die.

Truth is, you cannot transfuse even if it's an emergency and the patient is conscious and has compos mentis (capacity), a doctor can't transfuse if he declines

Nobody asked you to argue with anyone.

You posted something and you got a reply, why can't you answer those questions?

Do you respect opinion of those who committed suicide?

Why can't you commit suicide since you know death is coming to everyone?

Just like that?


But I thought she was stable and responding to treatment.

Even those that went all the way with the whole treatment including blood transfusion many still gave up.

It's a sad situation.
May you said, but hers happened as a must. so use your tongue to count your teeth. Each time people leave their homes to look for daily bread, they may not return home. But the ones who went ahead to commit suicide will definitely not return home so you see the difference. hope and a fighting chance. It seems you are a witness. Too bad religion has killed the brain of an average black man.

Her death is heartbreaking and highlights the tough choices people sometimes face between faith and health. While religious beliefs should be respected, it also shows the need for clear medical advice, understanding, and compassion when making life-saving decisions. RIP Aunty Esther
nothing heartbreaking there, she obviously killed herself and she will rot in hell.

Right now, she would have opened her eyes in Sheol and see that she is not unconscious as they taught her.
i was not hoping for anything abeg. She wont open her eyes anywhere she is gone forever. she committed suicide.

I heard her treatment included blood transfusion and she rejected it based on faith.

A US judge ruled against something like this recently and forced the young man to take blood to save his life.

Maybe our judges should consider such in extreme cases like this.
Unfortunately blood transfusion failed to save Adeboye son's live.

It's sad. May her soul rest in peace.

Being RELIGIOUS and being SPIRITUAL are two entirely different things. Religion is meant to be a vehicle that conveys one to the place of spirituality because humans are spirits encased within sandy flesh and their spirit nature can never see fulfillment until there's a connection to their spiritual essence or Creator- God.

NOW, God is a spirit and to connect with Him a person needs his own spirit regenerated to get tuned to God's own spiritual frequency thereafter a line of communication is opened between that person and God.

UNTIL any practitioner of any religion gets to that level of personal and revelational relationship characterised by two way communication, such a person would remain deceived man made doctrines.

She did not refuse professional medical care.
She did not want transfusion.
She is an adult who exercised her fundamental rights to demand the kind of treatment she prefers.
The Medical team respected her choice , as stipulated by Medical/Legal ethics.
She is a conscientious woman who stayed faithful to her beliefs.
It's sad we lost her to a terminal health issue.
Acts 24:15 & John 5:28, my sister the promise of Jesus Christ is faithful & reassuring.
