Utah Republicans push to let patients supply their own blood as vaccine concerns linger

Utah health care facilities may soon be required to let patients use their own blood or select donors for medical procedures under a bill that passed unanimously by the state House on Wednesday.
The bill now moves to the Senate and exempts hospitals from liability for injuries or deaths related to using patient-supplied blood.

Supporters argue that it gives patients more choice in receiving blood from trusted donors instead of through blood banks.
