"Only flesh with its soul-its blood-you must not eat" Genesis 9:3-4). Merely accepting it without regret is considered a sin.]]> 2016-08-08 06:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117692941 Islam https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117693261 Blood transfusion is allowed in the following cases:
- The donor should donate his blood willingly. If he is compelled to do so, then it is not permissible
- There is no danger to his (the donor’s) life or health
- It must be clarified by the doctor that blood transfusion is necessary otherwise the life of the patient will be at stake; i.e. the recovery can not be possible without blood transfusion.
- It is not permissible to sell one’s blood or to pay the blood donor. However, if one is desperate for blood (to save his life) and the only means to obtain it is to purchase it, then it is permissible to pay for the blood. [In this case, it is only the one who asks for the money that will incur the sin].]]> 2016-08-08 06:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117693261 Sikh https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117693455 Sikhism only allows blood to be taken from a non-dominant hand or arm.]]> 2016-08-08 06:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117693455 https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117694489 2016-08-08 07:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117694489 Muslims have a strict policy that the phlebotomist must be of the same gender as the patient. shimona_surin https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117694525 2016-08-08 07:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_bursey/12_ATARHEA1/wish/117694525
