    Its the patient's right if the patient is under age then its the parent have to decide. I know the prats didn't believe in even going to a doctor so there children suffer with Mumps, when I was going to school and the state didn't step in and say neglect. I see no difference. The JW have a an old testament passage that says the blood is sacred but even I'm holiness and nondenominational I don't believe in living in sin, but I don't agree to refuse a tranfusion though am a little scared with all the dieases going around. Not to mention if they don't have blood on hand they take someone local and the only test done is a cross-match antigen. That's scary!! I can't agree with someone taking our freedom just because of a couple of nonbelievers that don't have faith. I hate it for these people the constitution was founded on christian faith and won't change. I can say I see both sides being a worker in medicine and a minster. If we take religous right away why don't have a law that any children being raised in a nonbelieving home have their children taken away and be taken to jail. Freedom has to swing both ways. This would be like if you didn't believe in God but the state step in and had a minster come to your house and pray for your children.
