Which group does not allow blood transfusions because they believe that taking blood into the body is morally wrong?
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.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses at greater risk for not accepting blood transfusions?
No!In fact, some added benefits for not accepting the blood transfusion techniques.Please see LINK below; dated July 3, 2012Not necessarily. It would depend on the circumstances. As one of the links below suggests there can be benefits from surgeons performing cardiac operations and Witnesses have been shown to have a better recovery rate.However, as another link below suggests, in different circumstances it could mean that Witnesses are at greater risk for not accepting blood.It must be stressed though, that the 'no blood' policy of Jehovah's Witnesses has nothing at all to do with any perceived risks or benefits of blood transfusions.The policy is not based on medical reasons. Even if blood was proven to be 100% safe, or 100% fatal and there were no alternatives, Witnesses would still refuse blood.
