The comparison to blood transfusion is really great and describes perfectly my personal feelings about the topic
- No forcing. No one can force you to give that blood transfusion to your sister. You can have million reasons why you don’t or can’t make that blood transfusion
- Your body, your choice. No laws that should change that
- Morally speaking, should you give that blood transfusion to your sister? Well, yes. Even if you hate her, it’s still your sister and only you can save her (in this scenario). Especially when there’s no life-threatening situation preventing you from blood transfusion
- Should you be punished for not giving your sister the blood transfusion? No. Will a lot of people think of you as an asshole for not saving your sister’s life? Yes, unfortunately regardles of your reasoning
- Should we educate people about the blood transfusions, encourage them to regularly donate blood and help them to go through the process even if they’re scared? Absolutely
Am o neg. Have given blood in the past but I pass out any time blood is drawn, even small amounts for testing. Donation techs told me multiple times to just stop coming. I keep my blood now. I tried, but I won’t put myself or the techs through that again. I warn phlebs at the doctor’s office what is going to happen, most listen, but every now and then I get to really scare someone.
I’m curious, do you have a conditionor is it just some unexplainable pass out? Asking cause I can relate to some extent, even though I’m ok with normal amounts for blood tests.
No known condition, just lights out when blood is drawn by a professional. Doesn’t happen if i spring a leak on accident. Just triggers my nope switch I guess.
Vasovagal syncope, likely.
What did you call me? I’ll have you know I know right where my towel is.
