Law, blood transfusions and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses respect divine law. Where secular law is in conflict with divine law, they prefer God's law to man's law. They accept all medical treatment except where blood is involved. Doctors worldwide have come to respect their conscientious stand on blood and many doctors have successfully invented and applied techniques of bloodless surgery.

The beginning of life--ethical perspectives.

In 1973 Judge Blackmun, in the celebrated case of Roe v Wade, stated that "we need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins". A quarter of a century later, there is indeed a need to attempt to resolve this question. This article sets out briefly ethical issues arising from medically-assisted procreation and analyses the concepts of life, personhood and the beginning of personhood. It is submitted that the fundamental criterion in resolving the issue is to rethink the value and dignity of human life in a technologically advanced world. Since the ultimate wisdom on the purpose of life emanates from God, the article analyses diverse theological perspectives, in particular that of Christianity and Islam. In valuing human life, the article asserts that human beings must use technology responsibly and to humankind's benefit, rather than submit to exploitation by it.
