JuanDeDios:
It's sad that this has become public - so all eyes are on her. Otherwise, some Witnesses accept blood secretly and live.

I feel for those of them who still cling to such dogmatic beliefs at the risk of their lives.

This issue has been discussed countless times and it's really a simple one.

Bible explicitly stated that Christians should avoid blood. They should not eat blood. Blood belongs to God. It's the source of life.
Back then, eating blood would have been either drinking it or using it to cook or however else it gets into your body system. Christians were admonished to avoid it.

Modern day JWs interprets this as total avoidance of anything blood getting into their body system as well. Whether cooking or transfusion.
If a doctor tells a patient not to take alcohol, and the patient didn't drink alcohol or used it to prepare food, but would use syringe to inject himself that alcohol, would you say he obeyed or disobeyed his doctor?

And that's same thing with the blood issue. Whether you injected it, transfused it, drank it or cook with it, the whole thing is, "abstain from blood." Just don't get it into your system.

This is a moral choice. And no one can force anybody to take blood transfusion or not to take blood transfusion. It's solely an individual thing.
JWs believes in resurrection. For many of them, they prefer a future perfect life than going against their conviction just to prolong their life.

I have never seen a people as brainwashed as those JW people. I don't know why people call them Christians. They should have their own religion or cult.

You are just a deluluu person! You can't read to comprehend if not should be praising the doctors for such medical feat that accommodates everybody based on their beliefs.
You that is not brainwwwashed will on Sunday give all your salllary as tiithe and offerring to a paaastor, he will be living luxury life while you all remain poooor. Hypoooocrites.

This can't be taken as blood transfusion since its still her own blood that was taken off her, re-engineered and put back into the body.

No it isn't. The scientists involved didn't create the therapy because of JW beliefs.

Good for her, other patients were not so luck but 2 cancers under the age of 20? Some people's T cells are not trying at all

@dominique

I appreciate your pushing this important thread that I created to the NL front page. The new NL spam bot actually deleted the thread post yesterday which got me pissed off, BUT I was surprised to see just about I hour ago after I logged in that you had restored it and even moved it to the NL front page.

NOW, the main thrust of my posts on this thread and the other one is to simply share some of the non-blood transfusion methods that have been readily available since the 1990s that I'm aware of. BUT reading through this thread and the other one on the female shopper who is a JW member shows that a lot of posters are still highly ignorant about several alternatives to blood transfusions which doctors have long endorsed worldwide since the 1990s.

If one of the non-blood transfusion alternatives such as Erythropoietin (EPO) is readily available in Nigeria, then she can use that as an alternative since it's one of several methods recommended by her JW Church based off of the AWAKE magazine I read back in the 1990s. EPO is just one out of several forms of non-blood transfusions that doctors have recommended as alternatives.

Second, the JW folks have a right of choice and have a very STRONG point in the sense that improperly screened blood (especially in developing countries and underdeveloped countries) have led to the wide spread of HIV, hepatitis variants, Ebola, Lassa Virus, Marburg Virus, and other zoonotic diseases.

Cheers.

Indeed, the Car-T method of cancer treatment was used for her which itself is NOT "blood transfusion" in reality.

The main thrust of creating the thread is to share some of the alternative non-blood transfusion methods that have been available since the 1990s. I'm really surprised at the confirmation bias, and circular reasoning among a lot of uninformed posters here who think it's ONLY blood that you can medically use for transfusions. People have lost the urge to creatively read, take part in continuous education and understand situations through cognitive engagements.

If Erythropoietin (EPO) is readily available in that country (Nigeria), then that's OK. She can use that EPO as an alternative since it's one of several methods long recommended by her JW Church based off of the AWAKE magazine I read back in the 1990s. EPO is just one out of several forms of non-blood transfusions that doctors have recommended as alternatives.

Last but NOT least, I have NEVER been a member of JW neither am I a Christian BUT I know the JW adherents to be very educated folks who embrace modern scientific breakthroughs and good business ethics as seen in some of their AWAKE magazines that I still have in my home libraries since the 1990s. The JW folks indeed have a right of choice to choose what is BEST for them and do have a very STRONG point in the sense that improperly screened blood especially in developing countries and underdeveloped countries have led to the massive spread of HIV, Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Virus, hepatitis variants, and more.
