The Myth of Not Taking Blood

Jeddon: There are several places in the Old Testament that refer to not taking of blood. It's completely up to the elders and individuals what derivatives plasma fractions coagulation factors etc they choose to take. So it can be quite variable even within a local community what patients will accept beyond the standard products. The watchtower which is the publication of the Jehovah's Witness Society is fairly definitive in pro-scribing i.e. not allowing red cells platelet and plasma transfusion.
