...and still no one discusses JW doctrine. OK, let me help, since people seem to be having such a hard time.

The question is not: Why does WTS allow blood fractions if blood transfusuions are prohibited. That's simply a policy decision on a basic doctrine: i.e. the defining of what does and does not constitute blood. It's legalistic hair-splitting, sure, but no worse than certain fundies screaming that baptism is a work and the sinner's prayer is not. (I've never been able to figure that one out.)

The real question is: What scriptural justification does the WTS have for interpreting eating of blood in the OT to include transfusions.
