Preface

My first attempt to compile a booklet on the legal aspects of blood donation was made in 1996 soon after the Supreme Court judgment was delivered. Since then, my involvement has increased many fold especially as
Honorary Legal Adviser to the Blood Bank Society,
Chandigarh as well as the ISBTI. The number of my donations has also reached 79.

Due to my professional preoccupations, I have not been able to devote as much time as I would have liked to the present work. But the motivation was very strong to release this book before the inauguration of the
Rotary and Blood Bank Society Resource Centre at
Chandigarh scheduled for mid 2003.

My thanks are due to Mr. Harpreet Singh Giani,
Advocate, who has assisted me in compiling the entire manuscript and revising the final proofs for the present handbook. M.L Sarin

    On The Sidewalk Bleeding Summarizer

    The story takes place on a rainy March day at 11:30 P.M . Andy, a 16 year old, cigarette smoker, and a member of the gang “The Royals” was stabbed ten minutes ago just below his ribs by a member of the rival gang, The Guardians. He is slowly bleeding to death on the sidewalk in a quiet alleyway somewhere in New York. As he is slowly dying, he just can not stop thinking about his girlfriend, Laura, whom he will never see again. The setting of the story is very gloomy. Also, it is raining, which, coupled with the alley, makes the story very spooky. In this story, the setting makes a huge difference to the power of the book. The author tries to create a setting as horrific as possible. The rain is the key to the story. One can imagine Andy lying on his side with blood spilling out and it being washed away by the rain, thus creating a murky red puddle. For example, if Andy was lying in a field with the sun shining brightly, the reader might not feel as frightened while reading the story. The gloominess of the setting in the story is connected to the terrible thoughts of dying Andy which had gone through his head as he lay there (pathos and pathetic fallacy) .…

    Canadian Blood Services Case Study

    The main strategic issue affecting the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is making sure their blood supply keeps up with demand. Because blood is such a necessity in the health care industry it is always in high demand, meaning the Canadian Blood Services needs to constantly have a large enough supply to fuel this demand. Therefore, new donor recruitment is high on the list of priorities. As they found in a recent study, most of the population didn’t realize the high need for blood.…

    Blood Red Horse

    The 277 page novel, Blood Red Horse, was written by K.M. Grant. It is a historical fiction that takes place during the Third Crusade, the story beginning at Hartslove Castle in England with a quarrel between two of the main characters, William and Gavin, sons of Sir Thomas de Granville, the head of the castle, and a young orphaned girl, Ellie. Ellie and Will have a strong bond tying them together, but because Gavin is the eldest son, Ellie is promised to become his wife when they are old enough. While reading and evaluating the syntax, rhetoric, and literary elements within the novel, as well as annotating it, I have noticed that it is stronger in some areas than it is others.…

    HCS 545: Ethical Health Care Issues

    Blood transfusions can be provided to an individual for many reasons including accidents, critical illness, or during surgery. Additionally, all healthcare organizations should have a code of ethics regarding blood donation to assist in dealing with conflicting ethical dilemmas among a patient and medical professionals. According to ISBT (2000) “patients should be informed of the known risks and benefits of blood transfusion and/or alternative therapies and have the right to accept or refuse the procedure. Any valid advance directive should respect” (p.1). In some cases a patient cannot cognitively give consent, so medical providers should give treatment based on the severity of the medical crisis, and clinical need. According to the ISBT (2000) “blood transfusion practices established by national or international health bodies and other agencies competent and authorized to do so should be in compliance with this code of ethics” (p.…

    I'm Not Putting A Title Because I Don't Want People To Find This

    Good morning/afternoon fellow delegates. My name is Drew Becker, and I am representing Staten Island Academy today. I would like you to take this moment to think. Imagine that a loved one has just been severely injured in a car accident. The injuries include brain trauma, broken bones, but most notably, a loss of two pints of blood, that your friend is in desperate need of. Coincidentally your blood type matches. Picture yourself at the scene of the accident. Put yourself in the hospital waiting room, anticipating news from the doctors, hoping that your friend will survive. What would you say when the doctor approaches you and tells you that in order to save your friends life, you must donate. Now hold that thought with one more element added. You were in the car, however you were not as lucky as your friend. You are now a victim token by the car crash. Wouldn't you still hope to save a friend's life as your last wish? Would you give any other organ necessary for your friend's survival? Your heart? Your kidneys? Your liver? It's a matter of life and death. If you had designated on your driver's license or carried some other means to communicate your decision to be an organ donor, your friend’s life could have been saved.…

    The Benefits Of Cord Blood Banking

    Cord blood has become an increasingly popular topic among expectant parents. Amid the many medical revolutions that have taken place in the last 30 years, the use of umbilical cord blood has been revolutionary. When choosing to use a child’s cord blood, there are two options for saving the stem cells. There are public banks, and private banks. At a public bank they take the blood and donate it to a family in need. When choosing a private bank, the blood stored is saved only for the use of one family. While both options come with their strengths and weaknesses, private cord blood banking, while advisable under certain circumstances, is often unnecessary and costly compared to public cord blood banking, which can reap many benefits.…

    What Is Blood Spatter

    When it comes to solving violent crimes, blood spatter analysis is very vital; it can tell investigators what they need to know in a matter of minutes. I think it is so interesting how investigators can tell the nature of death, type of weapon used, the time the assault was committed, and whether or not the victim died immediately. The average person would think that once blood is cleaned off a surface, it is gone forever; not true. Currently, there are many different ways to detect the presence of blood after it has dried or cleaned with bleach and the options of detecting will continue to grow as technology…
