teenage Jehovah's Witness who was crushed in a car accident has died after refusing a blood transfusion in hospital.

The schoolboy, aged 15, was airlifted to hospital from the incident in Smethwick, West Midlands, on Saturday morning, but died later that day.

He is believed to have told doctors at Birmingham's Selly Oak hospital not to give him a blood transfusion because of his religious beliefs.

A spokesman for the hospital said he could not comment on the individual case but described the issue as an "extraordinarily complex area" with no set rules.

"There is not one single policy and not one single law regarding transfusions," the spokesman said.

"There is no automatic right to override parental wishes or that of a minor. It is a very complex area that has to be approached on a case-by-case basis.

"Any decisions that have to be made are made in consultation with as many people as possible."

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions as they consider it a violation of God's law.

Clive Parker, an elder at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Smethwick, where the boy and his family worshipped, said the boy was conscious after the accident and "made a stand on the blood issue".

Many incident like this.. I don't know why they always reject blood... If it is good for you for your life to save you life why rejecting it and prefer to die... I don't understand because of religion.

Translation: the boy chose suicide over life, this by sticking to their church dogma, and that is acceptable?

Let's hope his GB's prepared for him a heaven of their own on the other side of this life.

Christianity!!!! Na wa o!

Please do not confuse any of this with the Truth of God, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ no send anyone dey follow doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) at all. He made it overly clearly that such where lies spun by men to decieve and delude the ignorant with.

Idiocy

The Bible never in fact said that.

When did your Bible's command "Abstain from blood" become "church dogma"?

Luke 22:42 & Hebrews 5:7-8, is Jesus Christ obedience to the point of death, tantamount to suicide?
Hebrews 11:17-19, is Abraham's obedience tantamount to suicide?
