what is your religion...??
what is your reaction about blood transfusion...??
what is your reaction about organ transplant...??
is it allowed in your religion...??

Answer 1

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. We, by NO means, refuse needed medical attention. We refuse ONE option in a sea of options. As technology advances so do all the options available to us.

I have had the personal experience of refusing a blood transfusion. If you would like to know the details of my situation see this link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

As Jehovah's Witnesses, we are encouraged to research a number of alternatives. We are directed to fill out a Medical Directive listing out ALL the alternatives we are individually comfortable using. We always discuss these alternatives with our doctors in advance (Just in case!!). We do not take the decision lightly. We do not think that praying for some miracle is better than medical care. That is some other religion, but I can't remember who. I hope this offers some reassurance to those concerned about the welfare of our members, and in particular, our children.

Organ transplants are left to the individuals conscience.

Answer 2

I was a Jehovah's Witness for many years, now I don't claim any organized religion, only a relationship with our heavenly Father through his Son and only mediator, Jesus.

As for blood transfusions, I would try to avoid them for medical reasons.

As a JW, I accepted the idea that blood transfusions are wrong, but from my own research and point of view, I believe it is a medical decision to be made by the individual(s) involved.

Although in Acts it says to keep free from blood, I know that it had reference to Jewish dietary laws concerning animals. I also know that Jesus indicated that breaking the sabbath would be justified to save a sheep. So even if blood transfusions are the same as eating animal blood, I think a person has to use common sense and their own conscience in matters of life and death. I'm not sure that Jehovah God wanted Israelites to starve to death rather than eat unbled meat. (Although JW's frequently point out that the punishment for eating blood was death, they never mention there was a provision where they could offer a sacrifice and be unclean until the evening which would atone for their eating animals that had died and not been properly bled.

Organ transplants - in my opinion - are decisions to be made by the individual(s) involved. For several years, as a JW, I would have refused an organ transplant because of direction from the Watchtower but the WT changed their mind back around 1980. The fact that those men changed their minds makes it plain that there are no black and white answers to these questions and should be decided by those persons involved.

Answer 3

Religion- grown up Christian
Blood Transfusions - never had to deal with this, fine I guess? No one wants my RA blood.

Organ transplant - when I am dead I am a donor. Hopefully someone can make money or use something when I am done with it. My body is just flesh and bones.

I have been raised Christian, but I have my own mind and if I feel it is right then it is right. I do not let others tell me what is right or wrong. If it makes sense to me, it makes sense.

Answer 4

Greek Orthodox
I think transfusions are a vital and necessary step in saving lives, same with organ transplants.
Yes, it is.

Answer 5

I find this a serious question, so I will attempt to answer this honestly;

I believe in a GOD that gave me a good brain, and a Faith foundation that led me to believe that I am in charge of who I am in life.

I created three children, two of them still live. Any creator who gives me this kind of responsibility,,,,I tend to think ..did so knowing He/She/It did so knowing I had the power to do this well.

I think Ethics responsibility, and morality were born of Faith. I do not believe in a judgmental GOD or a wrathful one. I believe these were added to frighten the unruly masses.

I believe humanity is very, very old now and we have yet to see our Creator make another entrance.

I suspect because He,She or It was finished with this project and the rest was up to us. He She It gave us the ability to exist without being sheep or holding any doctrine sacred.

What I think.

I believe we should be able to use about to be discarded stem cells to try and save lives. I believe (as an organ donor) that should I no longer be able to use any part of my body; Id like anything useable to help save another's life.
I don't have a religion, I am firmly agnostic.

I believe in free will.

Answer 6

non denominational
If I need blood, I would take it, although I have several friends who do not believe in it and I have seen them have some really serious illnesses and came thru really good without blood transfusions.
Organ transplants are wonderful when they can give another life
Yes it is allowed in my religion

Answer 7

MY RELIGION IS...DO UNTO OTHERS
16 YEARS AGO I HAD 4 BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS (I HAD LOST ALOT OF BLOOD) IT SAVED MY LIFE, OTHERWISE, I WOULD OF DIED WHEN MY ONLY CHILD WAS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD--
