Can someone's genetic code be changed after receiving a blood transfusion? Also say a man is from say Dutch background and he gets a large blood transfusion from an Italian, then gets married and has a child with a women who is American Indian, is the child then a mix of indian dutch and italian decent?

Blood cells are produced steadily throughout a period of about six months.
Blood is also a result of genetic coding that the source as the marrow of your bones produces it.
Though I do beleave if you make a pentogram out of ketchup and moonwalk backwards while reciting the Satanic manifesto you will bring forth a Skittles hurricane.

No, a blood transfusion would not change the recipient's genetic code. It's ignorant to think that one would.
If a Dutch man recieved a blood transfusion from an Italian and then had a child with an Indian mother, the the child would be Dutch and Indian. No Italian. Children don't recieve their blood from their parents; they recieve a sperm cell from their father and an ova from their mother. These cells contain instructions to produce every other cell in the body. There isn't any exchange of blood during conception.
Furthermore, there is no such thing as "Italian Blood" or "Dutch Blood" or "Indian Blood." There are no markers in our cells that distinguish us as inherently different from each other because of where our ancestors lived. Race doesn't truly exist when you look at it from a biological viewpoint.

Blood cells don't live that long...
A blood transfusion is only a "temporary fix" for a problem of (hopefully) temporary blood loss or anemia.
Our bodies produce blood cells in the bone marrow. You genetic code will continue to put out the type of blood cells dictated by YOUR personal unique DNA, not that of someone from whom you received a transfusion.

No. Blood transfusions in no way allow genetic recombination to occur. Gamete production occurs only in a few specialized cells, not affected by the genetic component of blood cells.

I don't think so. Genetic coding also has to do with your genetic make-up and although a blood transfusions would alter your blood it doesn't change the genetic make-up of the individual.

No and No.
But it would not be unlikely that the child will be a good farmer as well as being multi-lingual. Because the child will be surrounded by food from the farm he/she will probably be a great cook amassing a large fortune from the farming cooking empire.
All that money though will lead to corruption mainly because of mafia contacts. However the child's ties and respect for the land and its bounty will result in he/she retiring to a secluded mountain retreat where the child will spend his/her last days speaking in many languages to the great spirits of the land, sky and waters.

no i dont think so, the genetic coding for his child wouldnt come from his blood, would be from his testes ahaha.
Blood transfusions cant change the coding, eventually the cells will be replaced with your own blood cells and the foreign DNA will be gone.

I would hope not because I am Canadian Aboriginal
and had 2 bags of blood transfusion,I have the rarest blood
and when I talked to a nurse she said most Native people
don't have that blood type.....so who knows what we really are.

Christianity isn't a clean theory. and how are you able to accuse atheists of being conservative or morally self righteous? extra, to anticipate that we have got not any practise in this, or that all of us based our thinking on a "undesirable opinion" of Christianity exhibits how vulnerable minded you're. Our emotions and ideology at the instant are not unreasonable. i'm not opposed each and each of the time in direction of theists. I have not any preconceived notions. YOU notwithstanding, seem to greater healthful all those features only based on the question. All you have proved is which you do and behave precisely the way you assert we do.

I don't know much about transfusions yet, but I do know that your body makes it's own blood, so I don't think your DNA can be altered by a transfusion.
HOWEVER - I am on a Homeopathic (pet) mailing list, and there is a school of thought that says vaccinations can alter, even damage, DNA.
Bottom line - I don't think we know enough about the body and how it works yet to know for sure. :)
