I found a pretty comprehensive article regarding the JW position on blood transfusion. For those of you with no interest in reading it, their position is a solid "no transfusions, thanks". They question its safety, question its ethical position--basically, "is it cannibalism?"--and go on to explain that there is *ahem* only one person's blood that is truly "lifesaving". The article is also peppered with what they read as supporting verses from Scripture.

If you mean, "should Jehovah's Witnesses be given transfusions when they don't want them," then no. They shouldn't. Apparently, they sign little cards about it and everything.

There was nothing in the article discussing the ethics of being in the employ of a blood bank. I suspect that a job like that is discouraged among the Witnesses. I can't imagine what a blood bank would have to do to accomodate a Jehovah's Witness, except not exist. I think that is a separate issue from the trouble that this young lady is having. She isn't anti-basketball; she's anti-that-uniform-as-it-is.

I feel like I'm missing your point.
