A real life dilemma - tonight!

How can the question "Would you provide blood by way of a transfusion if necessary?" be deemed "irrelevant to [you]"? I am asking you if you would provide someone with blood if there was no other solution. I am asking you if you would provide blood if you had to. Totally relevant. Totally on topic. Totally point blank. Again.

I am not asking you about "what other people do with their own bodies", robbie. I am asking if you would provide blood to save someone's life? Not "rather silly". Serious.

I am in no position to discuss any form of medical treatment that concerns other
people, what other people wish to do with their own bodies is their concern, not
mine.

The topic - my question - is not about "what other people [do] to with their own bodies [being] their concern". Would you - not someone else - provide blood to save someone's life?

I am in no position to discuss any form of medical treatment that concerns other
people, what other people wish to do with their own bodies is their concern, not
mine. I respect their right of self determination.

"What other people wish to do with their own bodies" is not the subject of my question here, nor is other people's "right of self determination". I am asking you if you would provide blood to save another person's life.

Surely you are "in a position to discuss" whether you would provide blood if it were needed to save a human life?

nope, I am in no position to discuss any form of medical treatment that concerns other
people, what other people wish to do with their own bodies is their concern, not
mine. I respect their right of self determination.

I wonder if anyone else here is finding robbie's evasion rather peculiar.

I wonder if anyone finds your aversion to the right of self determination rather puzzling.

I do believe you have the "the right of self determination", robbie, of course, but you seem to be using it to avoid answering a point blank question about whether or not your principles would allow you to donate blood if it were necessary for you to do so to save a human life.
