ABSTRACT
During the hard period of previous two years of political confliction in Thailand, the group of people who were against Thai government represented a symbol of protest by letting their blood to pour various landmarks in Thailand. They wanted to see the prime minister and the government resigned, and the parliament dissolved. The protest leaders who created this idea asked some volunteer physicians to obtain the blood collection. This report aimed to describe and explore the ethical dilemma of blood letting procedure.
