  • Title: Does "no" mean "yes"? The continuing problem of Jehovah's Witnesses and refusal of blood products.
    Author: Davis DS.
    Journal: Second Opin; 1994 Jan; 19(3):34-43. PubMed ID: 10131546.
    Abstract:
    The law maintains that the choice of competent adult Witnesses not to receive blood products must be respected. Yet many care providers believe that Witnesses, when actually faced with a life-threatening emergency, want their stated choice to be overriden--which permits them to evade the spiritual consequences of their unstated preference.
