Jehovah’s Witness boy dies after refusing treatment

Can a 14 year old really be held accountable and mature enough to make life or death decisions (based on religion)? If so, shouldn’t they be paying taxes??

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) — A few hours after a judge ruled that a 14-year-old Jehovah’s Witness sick with leukemia had the right to refuse a blood transfusion that might have helped him, the boy died, a newspaper reported.

Dennis Lindberg died Wednesday night at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, his father, Dennis Lindberg Sr., told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
