My son has always been grateful that we do not celebrate Christmas. He gets to go to Toys-R-Us anytime in the year to obtain whatever he wants. And over the years he has "wanted" a lot.

The new Awake! has excellent articles on successful bloodless surgery. It is a fallacy to assume that refusing blood equates to a death wish. Refusing blood may very well be lifesaving, even in the physical sense.

Frankly, and apart from the religious aspect, transfusing blood seems archaic and barbaric to me, in an age where men and machines traverse space and the human intellect constantly expands. It is well past time to find successful alternatives to that practice. But of course no such alternatives will be found if no one is looking for them, due to holding forth blood transfusion as some sort of sacred cow. Religious doctrines are not the only ones men have raised to the status of dogma.
