Answer
Angel,

Quite simply... receiving a blood transfusion when warranted will SAVE YOUR LIFE.  If you have acute blood loss and your Hemoblobin (Hb) drops below 8.0 receiving blood can save your life.  Chronic anemia is another thing, but in certain situations transfusions are necessary to maintain good quality of life and reduce the risk for further illness or injury due to low blood counts (for example, severe anemia can cause dizziness, which can lead to a fall and a broken hip and all it's consequences).  Very often the benefits of blood transfusions OUTWEIGH the risks.

Hope that helps,
