Bereaved Husband Thinks Jehovah Witness Is Killing Members

Adeline Keh had suffered a fatal infection after giving birth by Caesarean section to her son, and she the only thing that could have saved her was a blood transfusion but she rejected it and died a month later.
She left a son and a distraught husband Kwaku Keh who is not happy over this death in London. An inquest into her death found her decision to refuse blood 'may have compromised the final medical intervention' 

The husband said: 'My wife and I were best friends... I was overjoyed and could not wait for them to come home.

'Each time I went to pick her up [from the Homerton] I was told that she could not come home. Eventually my wife lost her fight and passed away.' 

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.

Yet the church insists it is 'totally unfounded' to say many Witnesses, including children, die each year after refusing blood.

A statement added: 'Surgeons regularly perform such complex procedures as heart operations, orthopaedic surgery, and organ transplants without the use of blood transfusions.

'Patients, including children, who do not receive transfusions usually fare as well as or better than those who do accept transfusions. 

'No one can say for certain that a patient will die because of refusing blood or will live because of accepting it.'
