Our Kingdom Ministry, “How Do I View Blood Fractions and Medical Procedures Involving My Own Blood? (insert)”

November 2006 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“(not opened)”

Keep Yourselves in God's Love (book), “Appendix: Blood Fractions and Surgical Procedures”

2008 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Fractions are derived from the four primary blood components—red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma.”

'The Bible does not give specific details, so each one must make his own conscientious decision before God.' Haemodilution and cell salvage described; suggested directive: 'no blood transfusions (whole blood, red cells, white cells, platelets, or blood plasma) be given to me under any circumstances'.
