    Depending on which though, no matter how responsible you are you may not even be able to get a blood transfusion after an accident. So it’s not all up to you.

      Pardon my French, but I’m not a Jehovah’s Witness, so that’s not my fault. If anything, a blood transfusion is a good thing because it’s a sacrifice (albeit a small one) so that someone else can live. Pretty Christ-like, I’d say.

        Well duh but clearly some religions believe that you’re not allowed to sacrifice to help someone else. So it doesn’t matter if you’re responsible enough you may or may not be allowed to do things to help other people based on your religion.

          Okay. That wasn’t really what I was talking about, but carry on. I’m not stepping in to defend a misunderstanding of the Bible.
