Jehovah's witnesses will take some blood products (surprisingly) but not red blood cells. From the scientiologists I've talked with, my understanding is that they won't receive immunizations or medical care. The lack of immunization contradicts public school policy. Which brings up the topic of public school and religion. Is it beyond the rights of government to require immunizations that will prevent disease against the beliefs of some religious doctrines or ban the headwear of Muslim students?
