It is ok for Jedis to accept blood transfusions?

On average, everyone strongly agrees with consensus between 791 voters.

Reasons To Disagree

a jedi should be taking blood, of the innocent to feed ther blood lust!!

One can never know if the blood they recieve is tainted with the dark side. Better to die pure than live as a monster.

ERM... mix your true jedi blood up ? No.

HECK NO i dont want aids plz i rather die with my blood my own blood THAN TO HAVE AIDS MOFOS i mean come on why should we unless ...... u want the sith in your body roaming the fields of Ur body causing chaos MY GOD HELP ME STOP THIS ISSUE THAT HAS arised

Take nothing! Balance is not posible if we take without giving. No Jedi would take someone elses life force and blood is our life force.

A Jedi must have powers to balance themselves. Even in blood. Note: the "Force" is if you're a Jedi a telepathic form of communication. My level is Supreme Master Jedi and I get only the most important form true telepathy through me.

i will not take dirty blood....i will only accept my own

Same as the previous question, having a blood transfusion is the choice of a person, regardless of any religion/faith that they follow.

If a Jedi needs a blood transfusion to live then it should only be from a fellow Jedi

We shouldn't accept blood transfusions because is one of the easiest ways to contract the darkside

accepting blood from non-Jedi can potentially dilute your midi-chlorian count, thus losing your ability to sense the Force

The blood that you are taking could be better used to help another. A jedi's life is sacrifice, so you should sacrifice that blood for another.

Jedi's should pass and become the force so others can grow stronger....Unless its me, I'm master bater and i'll live forever

No,the blood may be infected with that of a sith, and why should we be stealing that which others need?

Only in dire need

Only from other Jedi's. Purity my young padawan

Female Jedi who "go to the dark side" every month lose power because they are losing their midichlorians. In the same way, I don't want to accept blood transfusions because they are probably putting chips in there. You know, trying to turn me to the dark side n shit . Also I think I have AIDS, and I donated 90 liters of blood yesterday. So proceed with caution compadres. I am the dark lord violet.

Reasons To Agree

only if the blood was given freely :P

yes no reason a Jedi in need should not be given a transfusion if needed in an emergency.

Of course. Blood gives life. We are not jehovah's witnesses are we? We can choose to help others in any way possible.

Jedi should be allowed to do what they wish; However, we should be encouraged to be grateful for the help others give.

If you need blood, you need blood, so yes.

we can except blood due to imperfect balance

Yes again it's a life to save..

if people give it freely and a Jedi needs it then its ok i'm sure

if its a matter of life or death then yes i think you should beable to have blood transfusions

ONLY when they need them

JEDI- NOT -JAHOVA

If it is necessary, yes.

The longer we stay here the more helpful we can be

What, are we becoming Jehovah's Witnesses?? Fuck off!

Yes. you should Rise and fight from the blood of anyone, especially your enemys. DO WHAT MUST BE DONE

This is a medical issue, not religious.

Blood is blood. Decisions can't be made by your blood but by youself

If you're receiving blood you're in a hospital and not in battle. I would rather die in battle.

If needed.

There is no tainted blood. We are all of the Force. Light or Dark matters not. If the blood was given freely, it will allow us more time to do what is needed.

anouther silly question, agree

i am fortunate to have the universal blood group so yes it is fine so long as it is with consent

only if needed

Why not. If it saves his live. The medicine was given to humanity by god - err the force...

Why not? But only if it is needed, if it is not needed then it is obvious that someone else will need it more than you do.

Of course! No arguing on that one either!

Same reason as the answer whether you can donate blood apply here.

If the Jedi's life depends on it, they can keep the Jedi faith strong by taking this blood.

Only when dire needs arises to save JEDI's life.

Certainly! Or transplants. Organic or inorganic. There are many examples of this being a success and of course, examples of failures. But the possibility of a success requires the attempt.

I agree that the choice should be your own. However I would have no objection.

no risk of darkside taking over as good will over power

We accept the Force which is life, why shouldn't we accept blood, it is life.

simply yes.

Purity does not come from the blood, we as Jedi shouldnt have to worry about the purity of blood, our strength comes from are whole bodies, not just our blood.

The health of our members should be are number one goal.

of couse

If it's a match

yes, I'm sure the doctors examine the blodd for diseases, and other peoples' mediclorians should spread to others...

I would accept blood transfusion if badly enough injured, as I am sure many others would. I do not carry the prejudices of some of the more extreme religions. Blood is blood, it does not carry the taint of darkness, nor of light. Not a single mote of darkness or light is found upon scanning of each single corpasule beneath an electon microscope. We are Jedi, not superstitious peasants.

Yes.

as long as ther is a need for it like life or death yeah absolutly but lets not go around doing it for fun.

To recieve blood is to be close to returning to the Force. If one feels they have fulfilled their destiny and are ready to return to the Force then they may refuse the path of continued life. When one feels that they are not ready to return to the Force and the Force has provided them a means to continue life then one is free to accept those means. At times a decision might be made without knowing the wishes of the Jedi poised at the transition, one must accept that the Force may yet have a destiny that you must see through.

i think its ok

Accept that which is good..

Of course - there is nothing wrong with receiving another person's blood, as long as it is not a part of a Dark Ritual.

the order exist to bring peace, we are no help if we are dead.

Noone should have to go without aid whether jedi or not. If it saves a life then it should be allowed.

It's generally a medical neccessity when one finds themself under the effects of severe trauma.

only if they did no lose it in the process of doing a selfish deed like theivery

To save life yes

We should enjoy life as much as possible. To refuse the aid to keep on living is to refuse life, and by that, also the force.

Blood doesn't make the Jedi.The Jedi makes the blood. So yes we should be able to accept a blood transfusion.

this sways closely to the beliefs of the isolated jehovas witnesses, obviously its ok, it can benefit everyone

Blood is the flow of force in our body. Carrying the force we inhale through oxygen to the various parts of the machine we operate. If we lose the force it carries, we lose our life. Doctors and science can replace our blood safely, thus replenishing the force in our bodies, potentially saving our lives. How can this be wrong?

Accepting blood from another human being is not going to upset the balance of the force in your body because the choices you make are still yours and yours alone.

if you need it you need it

If I'm out in the field and I am dying, I will except blood.

only if they are greatlul and give back to the force.

if needed yes, although we should be charitable, when in need we should except charity

yes. i would not wanna die that way..id rather die of old age or die saving some 1. the more one stays alive the more they can help.

A Jedi can never be too prideful to accept the aid of those not in tune with the force. There is no way to "corrupt" Jedi blood....so why not

Only from a fellow Jedi, we must not take from the weak.

Purity does not come from the blood, we as Jedi shouldnt have to worry about the purity of blood, our strength comes from are whole bodies, not just our blood.

It would be best to leave the blood for those who need it most. When the time comes, you will know.

it is not wrong to allow others to help, so there is no shame in it.

there is no shame in seeking assistance, Jedi should accept assistance where they can, it will prevent the unnessary use of the Force when they can get help elsewhere.

We don't want dead Jedi.

A Jedi knows that the force flows through all life. It is the Orders purpose to promote the over all preservation of life. If their life is the one that needs saving i think they should take it. i also think they should give whenever posible

preserving life is sacred

If you need a transfusion there is nothing you can do about it.

I would not be here now, continuing my mission if it was not for 5 people having donated a pint each to save my life during an operation.

Of course !!!

only extreme times

this is a strange question since other Jedi's would need to break the code to not help us.

If they need the blood and it matches their blood type, then they should accept it. The Force is in all of us, so blood will not be tainted by the non believers.

i think in certain situations a jedi should b able to accept it i am in the army and deployed currently i would like to continue fighting to keep my country safe liek any jedi should b kept alive for the purpose of protecting the ppl

The practice of blood transfusion is supposed to be as a last requirement. Most medical practitioners will administer other methods before resorting to blood. And that should be the responsibility of each individual to maintain that reasoning as well.

we all are connected by the same force

if there is a transfusion neede then the jedi in question should be given one therefore being allowed to live if the force decrees it

Completely up to the Jedi

Yes. The preservation of life is important, and we should seek to preserve life whenever possible.

Of course.

Only if it's from another Jedi - simple.

If you're in need of a transfusion, i wouldn't argue about receiving it. Most cases are life or death when it gets to that point.

Blood is as acceptable as any other body part replacement - The Force is our essence - blood may not affect strong Jedi belivers

Blood does not distort the mind and as a donation is meant to be a help in your survival. Jedi's are taught to help others, so acception blood donation is allowing other's to show their support in helping.

Jedi need help too.

It is a matter of time until they seek it with their own hands...The Dark Side is present within all

blood is cleansed so no aids

If necessary.

Of course.

the blood dose not have light or dark side that comes frome the one that controls the focre withen.

I sense a trend in these questions. I feel that the force should help us make these decisions and we should not let other jedi make these decisions for us. If a jedi wanted to receive a blood transfusion, especially if their life depended on it, then I would agree. If another jedi refused, then the force is telling them that they should not have it. The force should guide the individual.

Agree. if it means to saves ones life,well yes. The blood does not make you turn to the dark side. Look within yourself. If you have the light, then the light shine. Are you less of a Jedi if you loose a limb? I think not. Your thoughts , What is inside your head is what makes you a Jedi. To fight to survive is the Jedi's way to not let the darkness win.

Yes. The Jedi are few in numbers. It will keep us strong by saving another Jedi.

If you need it, there is nothing wrong with accepting help from others. We learn humility from the Force, and refusing help from others is on a par with thinking they are worse than you. Would you accept help from a Jedi master?

Yes it is ok.

If it's needed then yeah definitely!

If it saves a life, then surely it's worth it. I don't really see the problem or the need for this to be an issue

Yes, when necessary.

If needed and it is donated

i like blood, blood is good

Yes. Just yes.

Assuming that it was given freely I see no problem with it. We all need help at some point.

of course it is

In a way, if it was given freely and aims to save your life. I don't think that someone's else blood can be seen as less worthy than yours.

i have had 2 and they saved my life i would not be here right now and i am only 16

Someone donated the blood for someone that needed it. If you saw someone starving- you'd be upset if they turned down your offer of food. Just as we offer our help, we should not shy from accepting it.

if u need it yes, but you will not need it if you use the force

It should never be taken lightly. If your life has been saved by a transfusion, then make sure you honor the person who gave you life - each and every day.

absolutely!! i see no reason not to

The Jedi are gracious and accepting. But only when risk and expense to others is minimal. A Jedi must treat himself second to others.

Only if it comes from a member of the Jedi

Of course. To be a Jedi is to embrace reason, scientific progress, technology and modern medicine.

Fear is The Mind Killer.

If a life is in danger the living being is free to attenpt to extend it. However, once again, it is the free choice of a Jedi to do so.

we're not jehovahs witnesses. plus vader definatly needed some blood after mustafar. sith i know but kinda relevent

ABSOLUTELY! IF A JEDI NEEDS A BLOOD TRANSFUSION TO LIVE, THEY SHOULD ACCEPT IT!

if it will save us than yes

I think if you're dying on the emergency room table, you'd be a fool not to take a life saving blood transfusion.

All cases should be strongly considered. However Sometimes we must risk it all to live it all.

If critically injured I don't see why getting help from a outside source wouldn't hurt.

Personal choice, I wouldn't for myself but couldn't hold it against anyone who would and if it were family/friend I would want them to have it.

Just as Jedi's live to serve, we should accept aid when needed.

Yes, but not if the blood comes from a Sith.

life is life, so what every it takes to preserve it, but then again its a personal choice.

Stupid to let all that training go to waste when you can live and continue the fight for light

In an emergency extra blood is needed, also not a lot of people actually have aids y'all need to chill and hospitals won't give you tainted blood.

If the blood was given freely I see no problem with saving a life
