Religious Reasons

In the Russian Federation in recent years, dozens of children have died due to the fact that they did not receive blood transfusions on time, when it was urgently necessary for medical reasons. This happened because their parents or legal representatives — Jehovah’s Witnesses are principled opponents of blood transfusion for religious reasons. The philosophical (bioethical), theological aspects are studied, but special attention is paid to the legal aspect of the problem.

Brazilian physicians and judges frequently have to decide whether to save the life of a Jehovah Witness patient that refuses blood transfusion or let the patient die when treatment refusal reflects their religious belief. The Penal Code condemns the physician who fails to use all the available means to save the patient. The Civil Code, contrarily, requires the professional to respect the patient’s autonomy regarding their decision over an intervention with potential risk of death. The Brazilian Constitution guarantees religious freedom and the inviolability of the right to life. This article reviews the Brazilian jurisprudence on the matter through recovery of all available decisions in the Federal and State Courts’ online database up to 2013. The results show that these superior courts consider that people are not allowed to let go of their own lives for religious reasons when in a state of “imminent death”. However, when the patient’s clinical state is qualified as “at risk of dying”, physicians are requested to respect their dissent.

Abstract Objective Surgical treatment for patients who refuse blood transfusion due to religious beliefs is an important issue related to medical safety. Few reports have examined pulmonary surgery for these patients, and we analyzed clinical characteristics in such cases. Methods Ten Jehovah’s Witness (JW) patients with lung tumor resection who declined blood transfusion for religious reasons between December 2013 and February 2020 at the Fukushima Medical University Hospital were included. Median total intraoperative blood loss was 17.5 mL (range 5–150 mL). Fibrin glue was used intraoperatively for 8 patients. Final pathological examination revealed pulmonary adenocarcinoma in 9 cases and metastasis of bladder cancer in 1 case. In 8 patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma examined for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation, 6 cases showed mutation. No patients had serious complications, but 1 patient displayed temporary anemia due to postoperative hemorrhagic gastrointestinal ulcer. Result and conclusions Our findings confirm that pulmonary resection is feasible and safe for JW patients if performed by experienced medical staff. However, awareness of complications associated with perioperative bleeding is important. Each JW patient should be interviewed individually and every available perioperative option aimed at blood-sparing management, including use of blood coagulation factors and fibrinogen concentrates, should be carefully discussed and clarified. In this study, the EGFR gene mutation rate was higher than usual for cases of lung adenocarcinoma. Further studies are necessary to assess clinical features in JW patients with lung cancer.
