Interesting about the 'drawing of blood'. Does your mom refuse to have shots or have blood drawn by Western medical professionals who have a religion that differs from hers?
To the Op, I think it's probably a good idea to speak with someone who heads your church, if you feel it's an issue... |
I agree with you about the lack of religious origin, but I wouldn't be able to convince my mother of that. As for the blood issue. She is a retired nurse and would have no problem with Western medical procedures. She likely would take issue with the religious beliefs of certain medical professionals, but I don't know if she would refuse treatment on those grounds. I highly doubt she's thought these things through to their logical conclusions.
Kat, you are right, of course. If the OP is really concerned about this, they should ask their pastor/priest.
