Im sorry to upset anybody i dont want to arguw wirh anyone im trying to be respectful as i can but to me There is no God in my mind when we die it just blacks out and science all the way. IVG to me has far more pros then Cons especially those who need help

Or “Medical Support Measures” the term pull the plug in itself carries a very dark and heavy implication- families carry tremendous guilt with this end of life decision bc of the mere term in addition to losing their loved one.

Suggestion: can we please refrain from the use of the term “pull the plug”- can we use a more gentle term- perhaps “discontinue support measures”

"If something looks bad, we want to say that it's wrong" 29:26 - is that why "beauty" was seen as an aspect of morality in ancient greece? (Or is that a myth?)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Very enlightening. Excited about future podcasts & quickly hit the subscribe button.

The theory of mere difference is absurd, and its argument is in fact sophistry.

I was honored to take part in this film! It's one of my favorite career highlights!

If you think I am going to go on a plant based or lab based diet then you’re insane! I will only eat meats. I am an obligate carnivore! Yes I used to eat like the ADA says I should, but that made sure I stayed a diabetic!! I know vegans like to think nothing has to die so they can eat, but anyone who looks at it knows that is untrue!! So you eat what you want and I will eat what I have to. I don’t ask you or tell you what to eat or wear, please give me the same thing. Stay safe

I love this thank you for creating the film

Where are you getting the matching uterus? A uterus with no pathology findings from a hysterectomy that was unnecessary are you using these methods to make profits for the private hospitals? I believe they sold my uterus to this hospital 😢.

could you provide the links to thr statistical data or research papers

Hes not being honest, if you take blood you have to repent to the elders, or you will be disassociated, and shunned, and before, you couldn't take blood fractions, so people including children, refused blood fractions, died sacrificing there lives for jehovah, what about al those who already refused blood fractions, that died not getting it, they wasn't taught they don't have to because christ already sacrificed his life for us, if we save our lives by any means show we believe christ sacrificial death was enough. What do you think the liason committee, and signing your blood card, is for, giving them control over rather you take a blood transfusion, there purpose coming to the hospital, is to see if you will take whole blood. Or to coerce you on what you can take. In which they use fear, to control you, by saying jehovah wil destroy you of if you die you won't be resurrected, as if they have control over salvation, christ is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to salvation is through him, not jehovahs organization.

face masks don’t work. especially not cloth masks.

jacobsen doesn’t force people to consume harmful medical products.

the cdc does not have the right to do any of what it did. locking people down, closing businesses, and eviction moratoriums were highly unconstitutional. the damage these people have done to doctors, public health administrators, and government is immeasurable.

splendid.

It’s sad that the HLC member of the JW was not completely honest when he mentioned that there’s no stigma or shunning of a JW witness that unrepentantly takes blood . There definitely is a consequence, check the elders book on blood transfusions!

The HLC guy from the JW org definitely lied about no shunning and no stigma. Any JW who makes the decision to refuse blood transfusion are under undue influence from the organization because they fear stigma and shunning. The purpose of the HLC is to "support" the patient to the point of coercion.

I have a female friend who was raised as a Jehovah Witness. Her mother was a Jehovah Witness but her father was not. She almost died, needing a blood transfusion, which her mother was against, but thank God her Father stepped in to give the Okay for his daughter to receive the Blood Transfusions that saved her life. The Jehovah’s Witnesses blood transfusions doctrine is unbiblical & deadly. The tell there members that they are being a sacrifice to the Watchtower’s Jehovah. Shame on their leadership for misleading their members. Oh & the daughter was shunned be her mother & the kingdom hall also.

Are Jw nurses and doctors allowed to give a blood transfusion? Wouldn't they be breaking Gods law!

So sad to see what religion does to good people!

A Jehovah's witness who unrepentantly accepts blood will be shunned by the members!! That's a fact!

Jesus NEVER mentioned the blood issue!!!

That man lied when he said that if a Jehovah's witness received blood nothing would happen to him!

I feel like the HLC member and the JW nurse withheld or downplayed the social outcome of refusing blood. My understanding was that shunning was a strong possibility.

The JW Elder/ leader at 12:30 is lying when he says a JW member can accept a blood transfusion and there is no stigma and that person is not shunned. The Elders have a secret instruction manual given to them by the JW headquarters and in it is specifically states a person who accepts a blood transfusion is seen as disassociating themselves from the congregation. This is the same as excommunication or what they call disfellowshipping and the stigma attached is huge as all JW family and friends must shun them completely.

It was very hard to listen to John Johnson misrepresent the reality of Jehovah's Witnesses official blood policies. The irony of him doing so in a session called "Ethics for Lunch" is overwhelming. Mr Johnson, you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself! Jehovah's Witnesses Hospital Liaison Committee members should NOT be permitted in hospitals. Immense pressure is put on members of Jehovah's Witnesses to refuse many blood based treatments *_REGARDLESS_* of their personal conscience. Without these henchmen right there in the room pressuring them many will accept treatment, especially if they believe their right to confidentiality of their medical records will be respected. The Jehovah's Witnesses Elder's manual (SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD) makes it clear that a member who accepts a blood transfusion and is not 'repentant' for doing so has disassociated themself from the religion. This means they are subjected to the mental torture of shunning INDEFINITELY unless they come back begging the religion to forgive them for the crime of making their own decisions about which medical treatments they will accept!

Sadly, what Mr. Johnson says at 12:20 is factually false when he says that Jehovah's Witnesses who accept blood transitions are not shunned and there is no stigma attached to it. A careful analysis of Watchtower printed materials will show that any witness who deliberately accepts a blood transfusion will be disassociated (shunned) from the religion. Given Mr. Johnson's position as chairman of the Hospital Liaison Committee, which requires one to be an appointed elder in the congregation, it is clear that he knows what is factually true and is deliberately choosing to misrepresent the facts (lie) in order to avoid a frank discussion about this harsh policy that has resulted in many thousands of witnesses dying needlessly. Truth matters!

Ask a Jew about Blood Transfusion, why do they view it differently?

When I was a JW, and my husband was not a JW, I always had to gain inner peace regarding their torturous blood issue that he would come to the rescue and not allow myself or our children (minors) to die in the event of us ever needing a blood transfusion. I know now I was very naive to think this way. I hated the way they would hand out this blood card at the meeting and stand over us while we signed it. The courts of justice and the medical profession need to investigate these extremist views of not accepting blood transfusions and realise that some (maybe all) JWs have cognitive dissidence over this blood issue as a result of having been emotionally blackmailed and spiritually abused by the doctrines and practices within the cult of JWs. Doctors need to be allowed by law to have the power to administer blood should it be required as a last resort to save a life, child or adult. This cult uses this practise to boast about the martyrs who are prepared to DIE for their beloved cult.

Medical professionals need to understand that JWs are individuals and not one collective organism. The JW organisation presents a united front only because indivudual members are expected and are coerced into accepting doctrines that they might not even agree with or believe, or even fully understand. (ie.from the effects of undue influence) Therefore, the hospital liason committee DOES NOT represent the beliefs and wishes of all JWs. For several years as a JW, I did not agree with the scriptural interpretation regarding the prohibition on blood transfusion, but because of "stigma" I couldn't make that divergent view known. I knew that I could not be a JW and accept a blood transfusion, even though I felt I could receive one and maintain a good conscience. If I were to accept one I would've been considered "disassociated" and be shunned. That was a terrible dilemma for me. I eventually was excommunicated. Medical professionals think that by honouring jws beliefs they are behaving ethically. But many JWs only have those beliefs through unethical means .

I would absolutely love Dr. O'Leary to be with me for any of my neurological/psychiatric medical appointments, that is for sure, as someone "diagnosed" with Conversion Disorder/Functional Neurological Disorder. She is a pure gem for us patients.

Thank you for this presentation. My concern is that too many physicians are quick to diagnosis patients, especially women, with mental illness before running any tests or considering maybe they aren't aware of less common or rare illnesses or diseases that could be present. When a patient trusts a doctor to help them, being quickly dismissed causes a lot of harm. There are simply too many proven examples of patients needlessly suffering or dying simply because their physician was quick to pull out the mental illness card. Plus, I think a definitive diagnosis of mental illness belongs in the wheelhouse of psychiatry, not a family doctor. Refer when needed, but do your work to explore what else it might be. #my brother didn't have to die like that.

moral relativism danger here...

People have been terrified of imminent death for the whole of human history. You never knew when somebody was going to ride into your village and cave your skull in or chop your kid's head off. People these days are pathetic snowflakes that can't handle the slightest problem.

Wait...this is for real? I am surprised there isn't research on how to dominate the metabolisms of healthcare staff so we can take care of patients without the need for sleep nor waisted time taking lunch breaks. So much potential for increased productivity in the healthcare setting. Maybe we could be biologically engineered to be even more altruistic.

I think that this prescribing opioids can have significant ethical implications for healthcare providers today and that there are a few more overarching ethical considerations to keep in mind like: Patient Safety: The primary ethical concern when prescribing opioids is the risk of harm to the patient. Healthcare providers have an obligation to minimize harm and promote patient safety, which may require careful consideration of the risks and benefits of opioids, as well as appropriate monitoring and follow-up care. Informed Consent: Healthcare providers have an ethical obligation to obtain informed consent from patients before prescribing opioids. This means that patients should be fully informed about the risks and benefits of opioids, as well as alternative treatment options. Non-Maleficence: The ethical principle of non-maleficence, or "do no harm," requires healthcare providers to carefully consider the risks and benefits of opioids before prescribing them. This includes assessing the potential for addiction, overdose, and other adverse effects. Beneficence: The ethical principle of beneficence, or "do good," requires healthcare providers to promote the patient's well-being and prevent harm. This may require careful consideration of the patient's pain management needs, as well as alternative treatment options that may be more appropriate. Stewardship: Healthcare providers have an ethical obligation to be good stewards of resources, including opioids. This means that opioids should be used judiciously and only when necessary, and that efforts should be made to prevent misuse and diversion. Avoiding Bias: Healthcare providers have an ethical obligation to avoid bias when prescribing opioids. This means that they should not make assumptions about a patient's pain management needs based on race, ethnicity, gender, or other factors. Ultimately, I believe that patients have the right to manage pain, but there are limits to it. I also think that for not having much information/answers to the broad questions of what needs to be done, we need to push more actions toward finding the solution (keeping well in mind it can be more complex/simpler than what we think it can be). What are some things we can teach medical students now in order to address this in the future and cause real change? Jukić M, Puljak L. Legal and Ethical Aspects of Pain Management.

Does the prison miscarriage ratio match that in the general population or could some miscarriages be self-induced abortions? Are incarcerated women able to smuggle in medical abortion pills?

It was very cool to be a part of this!

Not audible

Sound not good

Is it just my audio? The volume frequently drops down do low I cannot hear.

He keeps saying that there is a really low risk of schizophrenia... Is there any numbers ? Statistics? and probability of the above if given randomly with out screening ,thanks anyone

The jab has tainted the blood of everyone who took it , , with no vetting of the supply , , flip an aids coin .

This man seems very kind and devout but unfortunately, many jehovahs witnesses are shunned if they accept blood AND there is definitely a stigma. I suggest everyone watching read the bible versus about blood and determine if they are actually telling people to not receive blood transfusions. Blood is life saving.

Excellent presentation -- an ethics based approach should be implemented for all the reasons Dr O'Leary listed.

Haibo guys what am i hearing hear of people beung cured of HIV???
