  JW GoneBad,

  Thanks for revitalizing this subject. It is very troubling to know Watchtower doctrine lets Witnesses accept transfusion of cryosupernatant but has never published this for general consumption.

  That Watchtower does not want this advertised is demonstrated by Watchtower taking time (finally, after six years!) to explain that Witnesses can accept transfusion of hemoglobin oxygen carrying agents but has yet to explain that Witnesses can accept cryosupernatant. These hemoglobin based oxygen carriers are experimental! But cryosupernatant has been around as a useful medicinal agent for years!!!

  I beg folks again to get the word out! The life you save may be closer to you than you might suspect! But even if it’s a child far away that you’ll never know of, its worth your time to spread the word. This is rare knowledge even among medical clinicians.

  Am I understanding correctly that although blood plasma is not allowed, once cryoprecipitate (about 1% of plasma) is removed from the plasma, BOTH the cryoprecipitate and what's left of the plasma (the remaining 99%) ARE allowed?

  I know this isn't the thrust of the article; the Borg secrecy is the main point. This really struck me, though.

  My 80 year old father had quadruple bypass surgery last Thursday. I wish I had read about cryosupernatant before the surgery (He did survive a bloodless surgery though)

  I imagine the blood issue will become much like vaccinations. The taboo of it all will eventually fade away and the society will then deny it was ever an issue.

  That is a correct statement of Watchtower's position. It's absurd. But there it is.

  I wonder if SD plasma (Which is only slightly modified whole plasma) is also allowed?
