KYSELOVÁ, Jitka
Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses and ethical questions of blood transfusion The refusing of blood transfusion is a one point of the doctrine of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses. Deprecation like this can endanger patient´s life and opens many ethic questions and dilemmas. The main goal of this thesis is a survey of blood transfusion problems and comparison of different views of current and ex members of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses and doctors. This thesis was elaborated with using qualitative research methods {--} with using questionnaires. The first research group was built from current and ex members of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses. The second one was generated from doctors from chosen departments. Gaining data was very difficult because the members of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses aren´t willing to give information about this question. From research work result that not all current members of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses refuse blood transfusion. The members that left religious comunity mostly don´t agree with blood transfusion refusing. Major part of doctors prefers saving life and health to complying with patient´s resolution. Respecting of patient´s resolution is bigger in non life-threatening situations and mainly when doctors are churchgoers. From research work also result doctor´s non-uniform attitude to blood transfusion serving in case that pacient {--} a member of Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses {--} is inconscious and in life-threatening situation and has a legal document that should guarantee not serving blood transfusion. The Religious community Jehovah´s Witnesses is certified religion in Czech Republic and we should respect their rights of religion {--} even if we don´t agree with their doctrina. It is important to find a good solution when doctors and patients have different opinion.
