Another situation: the patient is unconscious, needs blood.
His wife says: no blood, he is Jehovah’s Witness.
Doctor: Did he specifically tell you so in the past?
Wife: No.
Doctor: Do you have the power of attorney? written will?
Wife: No.
Answer: transfuse (the will of the wife and not the patient’s – in the face of the death he could change his mind, faith and religion, he has full right for that)
If he wakes up and says forget about the religion – I would like to live the long life and see my children grow – you transfuse even whole family of his will be against of it.
But if his wife says that her husband told her that if he ever needs the blood transfusion, he does not want to have the blood transfusion in any circumstance.
Answer: do not transfuse (the will of the patient)
