Best Answer

You are confusing Catholicism with Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses belong to a non-Christian sect (non-Christian in that they deny the divinity of Christ an one of the three persons in the Trinity) who regard blood transfusions as against scripture. They would sooner allow one of their own children to die rather than have a blood transfusion even if it would save their child's life. In addition to this they do ot celebrate Christmas, not celebrate their own (or their children's) birthdays. The Roman Catholic Church, and all mainstream Christian denominations (like Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists etc) allow blood transfusions, and thank God for the skills of the surgeons who day by day save lives through such transfusions, as they regard life as sacred and a gift from God, and not something to be dispensed with whether or not it 'contradicts' scripture.

Roman Catholic AnswerThey do not believe in them as some kind of religious practice, but they certainly have nothing against them. There is a regular blood drive at most Catholic Churches to help the need for whole blood.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.
