I had a woman at my till a while ago with a card in her wallet that said "No Blood". I still wonder how on earth they can imagine Skydaddy&Company, but not stretch their imagination so far that their god just might have put doctors and medicinal technology here in order to be used. Actually, if an adult makes the decision about themselves, fine, it is their life after all, but when done to children..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
