It is more a question of moral high ground. It is difficult to say why stabbing someone is wrong, when you can stab them to obtain blood. You can draw all the fancy distinctions you want- but a child's right to be free, and remain UNMOLESTED, comes from the right of all of us to be unmolested. It is not a good idea to carve out exceptions to that.

Do you believe in punishment for crimes? Do you believe in restitution for damage? Could not taking some blood from the perpetrator of attempted murder (attempted because the 7 year old girl hasn't died yet) to save the victim be considered either a just punishment or restitution for the attack, literally making the victim whole again?
