BBC News 24 and the Telegraph newspaper reported the death of a 22 year old JW wife, Emma Gough, who hemorrhaged to death after giving birth to twins. She'd signed a medical directive refusing blood transfusion and her JW husband stuck with her decision. This happened in Telford, Shropshire, England. The link is telegraph.co.uk/news.main.

All the husband had to do was consent to emergency transfusion, then once his wife came round tell her he was so sorry, truly repented and wouldn't do it again (and neither he would) and if she loved him she would forgive him for his momentary insanity (due to emotional distress). Then new-born twins would still have a mother AND a father. How is this husband going to live with himself now? What is he going to say to God on the Day of Judgment? 'Well, YOU told me not to!' God might say, 'No, your religious leaders told you not to. Acts 15 has nothing to do with saving life via blood.'
