The group is know as "Jehovah's Witnesses". They believe that receiving blood transfusions are the same as drinking blood, which is stickily forbidden in the Old Testament law and repeated in the New Testament book of Acts where Gentile believers were to "they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."
The problem comes down to whither or not transfusions are drinking blood or not.
yes, there is. Some would argue that the taking of life (killing someone) is morally wrong. A counter-argument might be if in self-defence, the taking of a life might be morally right, since it preserves another's life. However, this does not contradict the point that the taking of a life is still morally wrong. Indeed, the taking of a life can be both morally right and morally wrong.
yes, morally correct to eat would be salt & vinegar chips.
Yes Jehovah'switnesses don't believe in blood transfusions or taking blood products so you might see a tag in the hospital so they will know not to administer those things to that person
Cultural Relativism is important because, when taking into account philosophical moral views it is vital to remember that different cultures have different views on what is moral and what is immoral. Especially if you are trying to find one absolute moral rule/law/truth. For example what is morally permissible in one culture may not be morally permissible in another. Such as cannibalism. Say that there are tribes in Africa that believe cannibalism is morally permissible - so long as it's not from your own tribe. To us that sounds horrific, cannibalism is not only immoral but also illegal (keep in mind though that just because something is illegal does not necessarily make it immoral and vice versa(sp?)). Taking into account the difference in cultures allows us to view this act with less horror and more with a critical inquiry; which is important when searching for that ever elusive absolute truth.
Because murder is the ultimate crime, the taking of a life, which is unacceptable legally as well as morally and spiritually.Added: There is no saying "I'm sorry," after the victim you killed is dead and gone.
absolutely not, they are nessisary and vital for saving a person's life, however, there are some cults who are against it and try to make it a religious thing.

Working morally means conducting oneself in a way that aligns with ethical principles, honesty, and integrity. It involves making decisions and taking actions that prioritize doing the right thing, even when faced with challenges or temptations to act unethically.
I believe that taking notes in class is useful because it help you to remember the main facts..that all
I believe its because they are taking away our oxygen that we need and use to breathe everyday, and taking away habitats from the animals that live in the trees they cut down.
