I don't know if other members of Jehovah's Witnesses would have allowed her to have surgery if she was a relative of theirs.
They are allowed to have surgery just not transfusions or blood plasma.

Actually some of the new artificial blood substitutes and surgerical procedures that are performed without so much loss of blood have been developed by physicians who were inspired by their work with patients who were Witnesses.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
