REPORTED AFTER THE DEATH OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESS VICTIM

The victim's sister (pictured) accused the Prosecutor No. 10 to his sister's neglect of person and threats. Representatives Jehovah's Witnesses say, however, that the problem is not the view of the family, but what the patient was established.

16/02/2011 resulted in several lawsuits.

Initially, the sister of the deceased man, Libya Zampini, had submitted an appeal to allow the transfusion that she received, permission, doctors said, came too late. But in addition, Libya denounced the prosecution against 10 for his sister, Claudia Sanchez Mariel Contardo, and other members of the congregation, first by threats against his person, then abandonment of person. Meanwhile, from the religious congregation to which he belonged Zampini, justified its position of refusing to be transfused. They added that the law protects individual decisions of people to whether or not to a particular medical practice. Camilo Orlando Zampini was 36 when he crashed his motorcycle last Friday in Ovidio Lagos 3600. He was immediately taken to the Emergency Hospital Clemente Alvarez (HECA), where doctors will first decompress a brain clot and then instructed that it be submitted to the blood transfusion he had lost in the accident. But professionals met with opposition from his wife, also an adherent of the Jehovah's Witness congregation, who put their trust under the law for the protection of patients' rights promulgated in 2009. According to medical sources, the woman presented a role in determining which consisted of her husband not to be subjected to a transfusion if needed. However, the sister of the victim, Libya Zampini, said the paper was "confused" because "had different colors of ink," and asserted, not demonstrated the signature of his brother Camilo.

Given the refusal of the widow, the woman complainant attempted to file "an appeal in a court of Rosario, but the judge declined jurisdiction," said Libya, which went to court after judge Paula Sanso, who " immediately issued an order to make him a blood transfusion. " According to the story of women, "The doctors said it was too late and that my brother was brain dead and today (yesterday) at 6 am finally died", he said.

is why Libya decided to sue your sister to the courts for dereliction of person and death aggravated by the bond, as for their families, Camilo life might have been saved after receiving the transfusion. Added to this cause, and denounced the threats against the victim's sister. While still "I can not say anything for a gag" Libya told the newspaper The Citizen that appeared yesterday morning outside the prosecutor number 10 because of all the facts occurred in recent days, "they have many targets, many things out of place." He expects you to perform forensic medical expertise for alleged beating in the arm with Libya for a time in court, his claims can be made public. religious views

The member of the liaison committee between the Jehovah's Witnesses and health centers, Alejandro Ocampo, Zampini defended the position and explained that the most important thing to note here is that the problem is not According to relatives, but what the patient was previously established. He added that one can argue in many cases if the blood is necessary for the continuation of life and as the situation may have many medical opinions, "but in 98 percent of cases the issue is resolved without bloodshed. Very few cases in which the blood is essential to preserve life. " He also stressed that Zampini died as a result of the blow he received, not by lack of blood. About

religious foundation not to receive blood, Ocampo explained that is contained in the Council of Jerusalem. "The older men get together and argue that one should abstain from idols and from blood. A rule that had been given to Noah, who said you could eat meat but not the blood. What comes to this council is universal issues that should be taken into account, "said Ocampo. "At that time there were no blood transfusions, but blood gave an almost mystical. It was thought that the blood could improve the person who had epilepsy, the Gladiators took their blood because they thought it was effective. There were some uses of blood, but not now therapeutic. Journalistic documentation of the time he realized the position of Christians over claims that blood should not be used for the body. That is the biblical foundation, "said the priest. PERSONAL DECISION



on the position of receiving or no blood, Ocampo said that is an individual decision of each religious. "Because when you decide to become a Jehovah's Witness are opting for a lifestyle that can accept. Those involved, is because they have agreed to basic principles. The relatives of this person who are not believers, do not understand that a decision not to ratify or rectify, "he added.

Meanwhile, the minister of the congregation, Alejandro Varela, showed a document like the one with the woman in the Heca Zampini. "The Jehovah's Witness is sure to make an advance directive of her will and sign it before a notary to be valid. We all do it we know we can go through a complex situation. The letter gives the possibility to appoint a proxy, the wife was the attorney of Zampini and doctors decided to respect the decision of the patient. But if the wife did not feel the same, and the patient had presented the paper which it is the will of the patient. The only thing that can change that decision is a judicial process, "he said.

On the other hand, the religious judge stressed that did not rule on the defense presented the victim's sister, and when they arrived at hospital and was brain dead Zampini so the case became abstract.

and alleged that they, in the case of illness, do not believe in healing, turn to the doctor and a hospital, but consider that in medicine there are alternatives to transfunsión that can be applied and that they recommend in this type of case.

THE DIRECTOR OF HOSPITAL

The director Nestor Marchetti said that "this is the case of an adult protected by law."

"The patient had head trauma and collapse," said hospital director, noting that with the advice of doctors to perform blood transfusion "his wife refused because she said she was a Jehovah's Witness and even showed documentation writing to support this decision of her husband. "

Marchetti explained that" in these cases involving adults who express their will or there is a call from a relative if the victim is unconscious, you should respect that decision because there is even a law approved, which covers ".

Moreover, he explained that" these are people that do not support any blood component from another agency and they have spread these rules in all health centers throughout the country to be respected. "

The doctor noted that the hospital "are often such situations occur, though not often with this severity," and explained that "it is of patients used alternative treatment with erythropoietin, a bone marrow stimulant that is used as a substitute for the body to produce red blood cells. But a lot of pictures of blood loss is not immediate response, as in the case of the transfusions. "
