The headline news here in Ireland is currently about a Jehovah Witness couple. The woman is 34 wks pregnant with twins and the twins are due to be delivered this weekend. Unfortunately the twins are very anemic and both need a life saving blood transfusion as soon as they are born. The parents have objected to this on religious grounds, even if their babies die without the transfusion. The doctors went to the high court and the judge ruled yesterday that the babies are to receive the blood transfusions as soon as they are born. I understand (even though i personally do not believe in any religion) that religious people have their views and their beliefs, but what i can't understand is how any parent would not do whatever is necessary to protect their children and give them a chance at life.

Everyone has the right to believe what they want, just as they have the right to say what they want, but as a wise man said that right ends at the tip of their nose. Public policy dictates that the weak must be deffended, that all life deserves the unflinching support of medicine and the state in the form of it's laws.

i think it is one of the main ways 2 keep a relationship strong but it is not the be all and end all

why, are you offering? it's been decades... or at least it seems that way...call me! lol
