Recent studies show, the Jehovah's Witnesses may know something the rest of us should. Some people, myself included, do not believe in transfusions, for religious reasons. The Bible says "life is in the blood" and my life is not my own, therefore, neither is my blood. Although the link below does not speak against transfusions, there is interesting data that indicates transfusions are over used and do not always speed the recovery. There is much data to indicate receiving a transfusion is actually a health risk.
