Giving Blood Donation Poll?

[N30S1NGH]

Would sikhs will be ok to give blood donation to an "human" which happen to nirankari, congresiya, taliban?

Choice:

a) Yes i will for me, humanity comes first then socio religious status/beleifs. Great Sikhs like- Bhai Kehniya ji did not discriminate even with enemies of khalsa when it came to humanity.

b) No, I will not. These people are anti-panthic, panthic dusht, they have no right to be human. Let them die in suffering.

I don't know how to create poll on this forum, can mod's please make poll out of this thread. so people who want to hide their indentity while voting, they can. They have every right to do so.

-- Mod Note : Poll added.

I see your starting a poll for given blood, great idea i was thinking to gahter the sikhs of my local sungat and do a "give blood drive"

But I guess you beat me to it. :lol:

In regards to yor poll, go to new poll in the top right of your message, click it, under it should be a blank space type your questions there keep them short tough, or they wont fit, Eg...

1.Yes i will, humanity comes first then other religious belives

2.No, I will not. These people are anti-panthic, panthic dusht

and so on, hope this helped and by the way I vote 1.

I think Bhagat Kabeer ji deals with issue well on Ang 1160 of SGGSji:

jy imrqk kau cMdnu cVwvY ]

jae mirathak ko cha(n)dhan charraavai ||

If a corpse is anointed with sandalwood oil,

aus qy khhu kvn Pl pwvY ]

ous thae kehahu kavan fal paavai ||

what good does it do?

jy imrqk kau ibstw mwih rulweI ]

If a corpse is rolled in manure,

qW imrqk kw ikAw Git jweI ]3]

thaa(n) mirathak kaa kiaa ghatt jaaee ||3||

what does it lose from this? ||3||

This Shabad is also by Bhagat Kabeer Ji on Ang 325 of SGGS ji:

gauVI kbIr jI ]

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

We are born, and we grow, and having grown, we pass away.

Before our very eyes, this world is passing away. ||1||

How can you not die of shame, claiming, ""This world is mine""?

Trying various methods, you cherish your body,

but at the time of death, it is burned in the fire. ||2||

You apply sandalwood oil to your limbs,

but that body is burned with the firewood. ||3||

khu kbIr sunhu ry gunIAw ]

kahu kabeer sunahu rae guneeaa ||

Says Kabeer, listen, O virtuous people:

ibnsYgo rUpu dyKY sB dunIAw ]4]11]

binasaigo roop dhaekhai sabh dhuneeaa ||4||11||

your beauty shall vanish, as the whole world watches. ||4||11||

You may feel your organs belong to you but that is Moh. Bhagat Kabir ji says nothing is yours. He says the dressing up of the dead body is only really because the world likes to see beauty even on a dead body but concludes even that will perish so don't have attachment to your body.

For example donating your eyes after death could help a blind person see... think about that...

A lot of Sikhs regularly donate blood- there are usually blood drives across the world in rememberance of the martyrs of our faith. Take a look at the following leaflet & articles:

Fateh Ji.

Just been thinking about this a lot recentley. Is Organ donation allowed in Sikhi and if so, are there any stipulations with regards to what organs can and can't be donated. As an extra, thought i'd see how many people would donate.

Bhul Chuuk Maaf.

once your soul has left the body, the body itself is waste, only to return to the ground.

to allow your left over organs (which will be destroyed anyways) to be donated that is a great deed, as itll save lives.

all sikhs should sighn up.
