Question: Blood Transfusion from someone else..

My answer was yes I would take the blood.

Then my answer was followed by a second question;

What if the blood was from the person who eats meat/pork/beef etc..(and you dont eat meat, or pork or beef etc..)...

I already have my answer, but wanted to know what yall have to say... Think its pretty easy to answer..Saving someones life is more important regardless of where the blood came from..

In my head I said I would go to India (or find a fam member) but if someone needs blood desperately (i..e within1hr due to emergency accident) they won?t have the time to look for blood from a vegetarian/non beef/prok eater or have the time to fly to India.

What are your thoughts homies?

Hello Bhaiya, nice topic, to my opinion I am being a pure vegetarian and non alcohol drinker, would say that when people go and donate blood, no one knows who that person is. Blood is checked for every possible diseases, like Aids hiv positive, TB or any blood problem.. But in India we donot know that this is properly done or not. Back street abortions, operations, kidney trasplants and other things, I would not say that it is very safe in india whether or nor not you eat meat or not. Even many diseases these days you get through eating meat like mad cow disease, chicken with chicken flu, and so on. Then again 8 out of 10 hospitals do not carry enough blood to use in case of emergencies. I have so many doctor friends and they say the same as well. Hygiene in the hospital especially pathological depts are not clean enough. You know the best my dear friend.

Nice topic to discuss Asli....

For me Life is very precious - if giving blood helps it - then I'm up for it

I used to donate regularly and beleive very strongly in the concept.

As a healthy individual, it is a small thing to do if it saves lives.

Have a good day!

😡M😡

good question!

I think life has higher value than any practices or beliefs, so yes, I'm vegetarian, and I'll donate and accept blood (provided the blood group matches, of course!😉)

I accepted blood during one surgery, I don't know who is the donor, whether he/she eats non veg, consumes alcohol etc, But it helped to save my life and no difference in my basic behavour or opinion, that is donation of blood is one of the best thing one could do to save a human being.

In India, (Kerala), in my city, there are several wold class hospitals visited by foreigners (not NRI's) for treatment. they are well equiped, neat and well maintained, but they are costly. Now inspite of so many complaints even the Govt, owned hospitals are also somewhat well maintained . There are a lot of qualified, kind and humane doctors and para medical staff. Here we get blood from IMA Blood banks but we have to give back (our representative) the quantity of blood we received. After some complaints the blood is very very strictly tested for deseases.
