O.K., thanks for an honest answer... However, in an earlier post, you said that you were also in favor of "victims' rights". I guess what you are saying is that a person's "right to their own body" ALWAYS trumps "victims' rights"? What if the victim (person B) was your 7-year-old daughter? What if the attacker (person A) was a 40-year-old male who viciously stabbed your daughter? Your daughter lies dying in the hospital, and she says: "Mommy, the doctors say I will live if only that mean man would just donate some blood... but he won't do it! Why do I have to die Mommy?" So, I guess you are willing to let your 7-year-old daughter die, rather than cause some inconvenience to a 40-year-old male criminal?
