Thousands dead, 40 years of cover-up: UK infected blood scandal

[@sheilahogan7014]

“When Bayer's Cutter Laboratories realized that their blood products, Factor VIII and IX or antihemophiliac factor (AHF), were contaminated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the financial investment in the product was considered too high to destroy the inventory. Cutter misrepresented the results of its own research and sold the contaminated AHF to overseas markets” -from NIH National Library of Medicine

The Bible commands that we not ingest blood. So we should not accept whole blood or its primary components in any form, whether offered as food or as a transfusion. Note the following scriptures: Genesis 9:4. God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul-its blood-you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah. Leviticus 17:14. “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood. Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reasons. Why does God command us to abstain from blood? There are sound medical reasons to avoid blood transfusions. More important, though, God commands that we abstain from blood because what it represents is sacred to him.-Leviticus 17:11; Colossians 1:20.

One might feel differently, if they have to choose between life and death, when the time comes!

Everything you're saying is about drinking blood. Transfusions have nothing to do with that. I don't understand what you're trying to do. If GOD didn't want me to get a transfusion, he wouldn't have told me to get my cancer surgery and put one of the world's best doctors on my case. It's awesome being a child of the King.

@@tiptop9687 yes I am 17 years and counting. God has blessed me more than I deserve.

[@MA-ki4qu]

@@txcavi No you are wrong you should abstain from blood says our Almighty God (eating it or taking it in any form)

[@txcavi]

@MA-ki4qu he NEVER said any form. You're making things up, and I honestly don't know why. Please quit putting your own spin on things.
