What if your child has to undergo blood transfusion and the doctor insist that if he/she does not take this procedure your child would die. What would you do?

Although it might be the right choice there is risk involving AIDS, hepatitis, and malaria. I'm sure you would want the best treatment for your children but is there anything else you would give? You would do anything to protect your child from harm, right?

Medical science has come a long way since the last few centuries, so it would be wrong not to.

I'm pretty sure they're gonna have healthy blood...

IMO, there's nothing wrong with it.

Yeah I agree. It's highly unlikely a respectable hospital would provide someone with impure blood.

blood only acts as a volumiser for 18 hours after the transfusion before it is assimilated into the body, so in an emergency situation a saline solution is as effective.

there are prevalent non-blood solutions from surgical tools to medicines in non-emergencies.

That might have been a problem a few decades ago. Now hospitals check blood for diseases like that beore giving to to patients. So of course the child should get a blood transfusion.

There are alternatives instead of this procedure.

I just realized why you asked this question, I almost forgot your religion.

Oh yeah, let me just pump HIV-ridden blood into me.

No hospital is just gonna give you disease-ridden blood. It's not like they just find the blood, they test that shit.

My daughter had to have a blood transfusion when she was 22 months old. I'm not a doctor, but I do trust that they know what they're talking about especially when it is a serious illness. She's 5 now so I have nothing to regret.

Tommy did it on Arrow, so I'd do it too.
