“Hence the attendant administering the transfusion is feeding the patient blood through the veins, and the patient receiving it is eating it through his veins.”

Answering 'Many say receiving a transfusion is not like eating blood. Is this view sound?'. p. 416 adds: 'Jehovah's witnesses do not oppose the people's use of transfusions, but allow each one the right to decide for himself what he can conscientiously do.' No congregational sanction is mentioned.
