SIR - I would be very interested to receive an answer to my question which I put to Jehovah's Witnesses: do they believe in suicide?

The reason behind my question being the situation of the female Jehovah's Witness who refused a blood transfusion to save her life and enable her to look after the two babies she had just given birth to.

What a waste of a life. Three or many more lives are to be saddened because of this.

I'm Church of England - OK, I don't go to church but I pray occasionally and do nobody any harm, but I do not decide my life's path based upon words on paper. Life is much more important.
