Secondly I love my wife and if something happens where she requires a blood transfusion,...
If this is the only concern you have, then you need to discuss it with her. There are options - one of which is self-transfusions, where blood is taken out and then put back when needed (this is a good thing to do when you know you will need an operation if you have any concerns about tainted blood).
I recently went through an extreme version of this. See
Cancer Survivors. I had an "autogenic transplant" (see
message 24), where they took blood out of my arm for most of a day and then separated out "precursor cells" (bone marrow stem cells that had not differentiated into white blood cells yet), then they used heavy chemo treatment over four days (96 hours non-stop) to kill (hopefully) all my then existing white blood cells, whether good or bad (cancerous), and then gave me a transfusion of those same precursor cells they had taken from me to build a new white blood system.
They put them back in the same vein they took them out of. Try the logic of that on your wife.
Enjoy.
