How Do you View Jehovah Witnesses?

One: The bible states to abstain from blood. Basically, that means not letting any foreign blood (blood that isn't yours), into your body. Example: If a doctor said that drinking wine would kill you, so you should abstain from it, would you hook it up to your arm in an iv drip? Of course not.

Secondly: There are many health risks that come with blood transfusions. You might get the wrong blood, making things worse. There might be an unknown disease in that blood. Human error, you know? But, there are many non-blood treatments that doctors now use. I'm surprised not many people know this, but more and more doctors are starting to do them. There's no foreign blood involved, and it takes less time to recover from surgery. One is called 'cell salvage'. We have many articles, even a few dvds, with doctor's opinions and statements, supporting non blood surgery.

I hope I helped! :)
