7. Sacred blood and the late medieval stage

Author

Davidson, Clifford

Subjects
Drama, Medieval -- Religious aspects, Christian drama -- Social aspects, Blood -- Religious aspects, Arts, visual and performing, Literature/writing
Abstract

Late medieval drama was one of the most significant visual arts of the Middle Ages, and the appearance of blood in the Crucifixion required a devout response from the audience. These plays were essentially untrue since the actors portraying Christ or martyrs were only pretending to bleed. Yet the medieval audiences invariably saw this blood as sacred rather than the impure result of violence.

10. Transfusion-free treatment of Jehovah's Witnesses: respecting the autonomous patient's motives

Author

Malyon, David

Subjects
Blood transfusion -- Ethical aspects, Blood substitutes -- Ethical aspects, Blood -- Religious aspects, Health, Philosophy and religion, Jehovah's Witnesses -- Ethical aspects
Abstract

What makes Jehovah's Witnesses tick? What motivates practitioners of medicine? How is benevolent human behaviour to be interpreted? The explanation that fear of censure, mind-control techniques or enlightened self-interest are the real motivators of human conduct is questioned. Those who believe that man was created in 'God's image', hold that humanity has the potential to rise above selfishly driven attitudes and actions, and reflect the qualities of love, kindness and justice that separate us from the beasts. A comparison of general medical ethics and disciplines, and those of the Jehovah's Witness community, is made in this context. The easy charge that frequent deaths result from refusal of blood transfusions is examined. The central source of antipathy towards Jehovah's Witnesses, namely the alleged imposition of extreme and even harmful refusal of blood therapy on our children is addressed. Of course, '... few dilemmas are likely to be resolved wisely or satisfactorily by a blinkered adherence to abstract principles alone. Solutions to most cases will be dictated by a combination of factors.1 The support of medical ethics by Jehovah's Witnesses, and their willingness to share in reasoned and ethical debate, while at the same time holding firm to their religious and conscientious principles are emphasised. Keywords: Disciplinary measures; blood alternatives; dissidents; moral motivation; Jehovah's Witnesses

Abstract

Jehovah's Witnesses will not accept any part of healthcare that involves blood transfusions for themselves or their children, as blood is regarded as life itself. An exception to this is dialysis with the proviso that blood from other sources is not used. Cards carrying instructions not to use blood in medical treatment and relieving medical personnel of responsibility are carried by most Witnesses. Witnesses will not accept food which is the product of a strangled animal or contains blood products. Witnesses would be unwilling to become donors or recipients of major organ transplants
