Hey resident lawyer dudes! How much blood can we take before getting into trouble?!

Sadly, I don't think Truean has been on in some time. Plus they don't give legal advice over the internet.

I think the point that it becomes gross negligence is where the blood loss causes long-term harm.

Uh, I guess it depends on what you meaning by taking. You mean like, drawing blood from someone?
If so, then, as long as you have permission (and as long as you're a legal practicing physician, which may be a legal requirement in some places), it likely depends on the amount of blood one can draw from a person at any given time, and the maximum amount one can draw cumulatively over a certain period. These are techniqual guidelines, not legal ones (unless your particular legislation has covered that as well), btw, and vary a lot between patients and depends a lot on the context of the situation.
Speaking plainly, Akura is correct. If you draw so much blood that you're actualy endangering the patient, and there's proof that your act of drawing blood was done in a context in which it was inappropriate to do so and/or it was in a large enough amount that the patient would likely suffer serious (long term or not) consequences from it, then you can likely fall under a malpractice suit or somesuch, unless you drew blood in a non medical context, in which case I'd call the local vampire hunter.

Kinda funny how they managed to save some time for a grand ceremony declaring girlyman lordmanperson of maccrage during the middle of a massive chaos siege.

Also, a fun thought: apparently yvraine was able to ressurect some rubric marines when ahriman tried to capture her. Assuming these marines only have memories up to the time they became rubric marines, does that mean ahriman suddenly has a handful of loyalist thousand sons marines with him?

In another note, I kinda wish there was more night lords stuff, mostly because they're my favorite renegade chapter. They got the alpha legion thing of having no real central organization, work as mercenaries just because they can, aren't exactly super fond of any chaos god or even chaos mutations, are a legion full of psychotic batmans, etc.

Look at those snekcheeks

Let loose the loaves of war.

There's no religion thread. Unless you mean the railgun thread, the one in which we don't actualy discuss religion in, its actualy just a covert discussion on railguns so nobody can steal our data.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam... same god, mostly the same tradition. Same religion really.
Whatever improbable things one believes in (and I'm including secular ones) doesn't make one civilised or barbaric. Among other things, how one deals with deeply held beliefs and those who disagree does.

Sorry bruva, doesn't work that way. There's a huge ideological, historical and cultural abyss between the three, and a reductionistic and generalizing view of it doesn't get you anywhere, apart from being kinda just a lazy and feeble attempt at avoiding dealing with the issues at hand.

Its kinda like saying 3 different guys that happen to come from the same general region of the world are completely identical just because they came from the same general region.

Anyways, looks like there's no paradigm change for the nether regions just yet. Sad, but all things considered, it could've been worse?

I must say I'm ok with multicultural milk ingestion, unless its goats milk. I'd rather eat the goat.
