The Watchtower leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses are hypocrites they promote no blood while at the same time use many blood fractions.
The fact is that elective bloodless surgery advancements are not going to help me if I have trauma and lose much of my blood volume and need an emergency blood transfusion.

Blood issue at a glance: The Watchtower leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses say NO blood, BUT they actually DO ALLOW some blood "fractions".
Problem is this variance is so esoteric complicated that by the time special elders appear in the ER with the rule book, the JW patient is at the point of no return,bleeding to death.
NOW,they blame the hospital staff for not having a "cell saver" machine instead of the Watchtower leaders who are responsible for making the rules.
I was born a 3rd generation Jehovah's Witness in 1957 and endured the Watchtower's no blood commandment with longstanding bleeding Crohn's disease.The Watchtower leadership expects followers to die for their dogma and many have.The medical staff get blamed and are 'damned if they do damned if they don't'.
In 20 years there will be artificial blood for anyone who chooses it,putting an end to this drama.

Isn't it nice that the Watchtower has provided the medical community with millions of mindless guinea pigs for experimentation.

Surgery patients often lose a significant amount of blood that must be replaced with transfused blood products. But several new techniques dramatically minimize or even eliminate the need for such transfusions. While primarily requested for reasons of faith, bloodless health care services offer many other advantages, and are being chosen by a growing number of patients.

Blood fractions are a matter of conscience to Witnesses. The reason being that whole blood is scriptually forbidden, but blood fractions are a modern scientific advancement. They are left to the individual to decide for themselves. They are not mindless guinea pigs. They are thoroughly educated on all alternatives, all benefits, and all potential complications.
Bloodless surgery is now the gold class standard in the medical world as it has been proven to be safer, with patients having less time in hospital stays, less to none related complications. If you do your research properly, you'd know that.
