Question Dear sir,
If you had a child and they needed a blood transfusion to survive an accident, would you be in favor of a blood tranfusion for her?
thanks
Jeff Myers OR, USA
Answer Dear Jeff:
In many ways, either though I don't have a child, this would be the hardest decision to make as a father when you see your child in pain.
First, I would like to say that we are not anti doctor or anti hospital. We know that Luke was a physician as well as an apostle of Jesus Christ, so we know that doctors and nurses are there to help and to heal.
We would definetely ask the doctors if there were any other non blood ways to help our children in good health. We know that there are blood stretchers thst will help keep the re and white blood cells in good order and to help more blood to be created in the body.
To tell you the truth, blood transfusins are not all together safe. There have been many instances where these blood banks have had blood that was tainted with deadly diseases.
But if all else fails, then we put our trust in Jehovah God. He command us in Acts 15:29 that we should abstain from blood and that to be faithful unto death, even if that means ourselves or our children.
We believe that most people who die will be resurrected unto a peaceful new earth where death will be no more. That's the hope we have in God and Jesus Christ.
