Jehovah Witness Member Rejects Blood Transfusion After CS and Dies

Tweet

Adeline Keh, 40, suffered a fatal infection after giving birth to her son by Caesarean section at Homerton Hospital, London. She was transferred to the Papworth heart and lung hospital in Cambridge, where she refused a blood transfusion and died a month after. 

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to accept blood transfusions because they say blood represents life, and only God is the giver of life. That belief has led to scores of controversies, many of which have ended up before judges. 

Last year an Australian cancer patient who was just 4 months from turning 18 lost a court bid to refuse blood because he was still underage. In March a Judge gave permission for a baby heart disease sufferer to undergo blood transfusions despite the objections of his parents.
