I think Katara was biased by her negative personal experiences with bloodbending when she made this law.

I mean, if someone got the jump on me in a dark alley and I didn't have any water to bend at them, well, sorry Katara, but I'm gonna bloodbend them from here to next thursday.

"It could scar a person to be used that way."

As could being attacked with any other form of bending. It's all terribly dangerous in the wrong hands.

"... you can't give a person, no matter how good, the power to invade people's bodies like that."

I don't think bloodbending is more a violation of someone's body than, say, setting their entire body on fire. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have someone all up in my blood (as long as they don't kill me or use me to do horrible things-- which isn't what bloodbending's all about) than be set on fire. I just really don't want to be set on fire. Like, ever.
