Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Just so there is no confusion that is in the New Testament.

Does that mean that you wouldn't accept a blood transfusion to save your life???

What a transparent attempt to change the subject.

The prohibition against eating blood predates the Old Covenant, the Law given to Moses and is one of the few prohibitions reiterated under the New Covenant.

Physical actions do not cause spiritual realities, but they change as a result of spiritual realities.

Jesus Himself said that the Spirit gives life, that the flesh is no help at all. But Catholics CONSTANTLY ignore and refuse to address that verse in John 6.

They don't eat the blood during a transfusion. Nor are they killing the person who donates the blood. Or were you just so desperate that you had to try anything?

Jesus was born under the law. Part of that law was the prohibition against eating blood. If, as Catholic claim, He was actually eating literal blood it was a sin against the law. Catholics therefore do not have a sinless savior.
