Cherish God's Gift of Life - PREPARE TO ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD

 Jehovah's Witnesses are well-known for their respect for the sacredness of blood. We obey Jehovah's law regarding blood by refusing a blood transfusion, even during a medical emergency.  (Acts 15:28, 29) However, that does not mean that we want to die.  On the contrary, we cherish God's gift of life.  We seek the help of medical professionals who are willing to provide high-quality care that does not involve a blood transfusion.

we can reduce the likelihood of needing a serious procedure by following the health suggestions mentioned earlier in this article.  The healthier we are, the more resilient we will be during and after surgery that we must undergo. We can also reduce the risk of needing an emergency surgery by removing safety hazards at home and at work and by strictly obeying traffic laws.
