A 1907 report by Dr. P.H. Bryce revealed that tuberculosis death rates in residential schools were nearly seven times higher than in the general population due to poor construction and lack of care. Bryce's findings challenged the "racial susceptibility" theories of the time, placing the blame on government standards. After the government suppressed his report, Bryce published his findings independently in the book "The Story of a National Crime."

The Jehovah's Witnesses' prohibition on blood transfusions, established in the mid-1940s, has led to numerous preventable deaths, including those of children. The organization has historically published literature portraying these deceased children as martyrs for the faith. Critics argue this policy is based on a misinterpretation of Old Testament dietary laws and remains one of the most dangerous aspects of the group's doctrine.
