mainly, i am curious as to the legality of this. im not sure how accurate the practice is as i just watched law and order ( my mom watches this) and even they do some stupid crap. wish i knew a judge or lawyer or someone!
anyway i guess the thing that bothers me is basically parents are calling on the death of the child. its not like the child has any say in this, not that they could really understand it anyway. i guess it would be different if it was a grown person that said that they didtn want the transfusion.
i guess thats what irks me most with religion. i want my child to be at an age where they can start to think on their own.. maybe 16 or maybe even 13, and let them choose a religion on their own over time, rather than be born and forced into one. BUT i guess thats how u keep religoins alive, is forcing people and scaring them into staying so whatever works i gues.
i nkow there are different versions of the bible, and in the version that she uses, and that she gave me, it specificaly said 'do not receive blood' or some crap like that. meaning wasnt like metaphor it just said that. also said things like 'men shal not have long hair for they are not women' and some other crap like that.
i never thought abou the idea though that yes the bible is a set of guidelines but how about when they contradict themselves? ive only read bits and pieces of it so im not so sure of the rules, just the ten commandments but even those im a bit murky with.
