The same in principle would also apply with driving a car to work. There are definite risks involved any time we get into our cars and out in traffic. People die every single day from all kinds of automobile accidents.



Still, it does not stop us from using our cars to go out wherever and whenever we wish. We all recognize that the benefits of using our automobiles far outweigh those risks, even though there are indeed definite risks.



Blood transfusions are absolutely no different! Yes there are risks, there is no denying that. But when a human being finds himself in the position of needing one, at that point in his life, most likely the slight risks involved are far outweighed by the benefits.



In many cases, it even means life and death.
