euthanasia, it will need to be reviewed on a case by case basis, this presents all sorts
of difficulties, for as you are aware, health professionals can be swayed by any
number of factors!

So essentially your stance on euthanasia is because 'that's what some unknown desert tribesman wrote'?! This a classic case of fundamentalism rearing it's ugly head.

yes you have the right to claim self determination and if it would make you happy i
wish that the government will introduce legislation according to your wishes, but , by
the same token, outr stance should also be respected.

As for you stance, sure, if you want to believe what some Bronze Age person wrote down and refuse blood transfusions that's your choice, you're a grown adult.

unfounded!
Some bronze age person? My man, Solomon's wisdom as well as his wealth,

a strangely distorted view of ancient civilisations.

Blaspheny was still punishable my death in this country until 1697. That's nearly 3,000 years after the law was written.

Christ, still dont. Blasphemy is still punishable by death in Pakistan and has been used
against the Christian minority in cases of local feud.
says the Queen of Sheba, herself a regent of an astonishing civilisation. Anyone
looking at the ancient eastern civilisations knows that they were anything but brutish
and 'bronze age'.

made no provision, does it, the present human system perpetuates itself to
demonstrate the now incontrovertible truth, humans are not better off as a result of
seeking independence from God and that ultimately, human rule has failed.

If so, and one were hit by a car, could you honestly tell me you would refuse a blood transfusion to save his/her life, in this day and age?
Would you really permit that refusal?
Answer me in TRUTH!

to you, from a publicly maintained third part source that it has been our official policy
since 2000 not to charge for literature, secondly as your are quite obviously ignorant of
anything other than your own prejudices, parents have no jurisdiction over minors in
the case of blood transfusion, UK law, you might in future want to research your topic
prior to typing, God knows it will save me the bother of having to repeat the same
things again and again and of you expressing your ignorance.
Truth is not a word i associate with your posts, more like a kind of emotional tabloid
sensationalism, kind of like reading the Sun newspaper, you know its content is nill,
yet, trash sells, as this latest effort also purports to be.

'parents have no jurisdiction over their children in cases of blood transfusion, according
to UK law', that yet evades you? Are the words too long? their meanings obscure?
why are you stating that i shall allow my child to die when the law states that if a
consultant wishes to give my child a blood transfusion, they may do so? Is it normal
for you to make accusations of this kind , in the face of incontrovertible
evidence to the contrary? Why would you do that? what kind of person would slander
someone in this way? How many children have i killed in this way RJH, do tell.
