According to Wikipedia - let the reader use discernment -
Bloodless surgery is a term that was popularized at the beginning of the 20th century by the practice of an internationally famous orthopedic surgeon, Adolf Lorenz, who was known as "the bloodless surgeon of Vienna."
The above wiki quote references early 1900's as the time period of innovation in 'bloodless' surgery, however, it wasn't until the 1950's or 1960's that the witnesses made their stand against blood.
So who really was the 'pioneer' here.
Also, while the Jehovah's Witnesses may have advanced the cause, they are not the pioneers as it's doubtful that they did the actual scientific research. They took a stand, and humanitarian physician scientists took up the cause to find an effective way to treat the challenging patient.
The physicians who took on the challenge are the ones who pioneered the practice.

Oh, by the way...
Sab wrote: designed in such a way that would incite an emotional response
I would say that in most cases, the act of shopping for a casket in and of itself is an *emotional experience* that would elicit an emotional response - no matter what the casket looks like or where it is located.

Not unethical at all. It would be unethical if the highest priced product was made of cheap materials.
The placement and presentation of the 3 similar products of varying quality and price is all a part of sales and marketing.
Very common technique.
Some people actually *do* want the cheapest available - no matter what.
Others want the most elaborate, expensive - no matter what.
I think most settle for the middle-of-the road - and like to see what details the alternatives present.

Because the editor, despite those reported "millions" of hours of preaching over the past 130 years, still doesn't know who JWs are. Or doesn't think his readers do. This is yet another example of how small a dent dubs have made in the grand scheme of things.
I don't think that's the reason. People do know that it's mostly Jehovah's Witnesses who knock on doors. It seems that it was actually *in* the original article. Also, it was mentioned on the air and also was the *only* story that they used to promo the news during the preceeding show. It looked like it was intended to be the lead story on the 11:00 news until there was a hit-and-run on a motorcycle cop.
I'm thinking someone asked him to edit it out of the summary article.
Maybe local elders - not wanting to lose momentum for the 'Special Month of Activity'??

A Riverside County man who fired a gun at a man passing out religious literature in his neighborhood was arrested Sunday night after a stand-off with Perris officers and the Riverside County Sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau.
Gino Salinas, 51, of an unincorporated portion of Riverside County, got into a verbal altercation with a man distributing religious literature in the 17,000 block of Dalke Lane at about 3 p.m. Sunday. When the man turned to get back into his car, Salinas displayed a black handgun and fired one shot toward the vehicle. The man got into the car, drove off and called police, according to a Riverside County spokesperson.
Perris police arrived and Salinas barricaded himself inside his house, where family members were also present. Police then evacuated the surrounding homes and tried to negotiate with Salinas to come out. When he refused, the Special Enforcement Bureau took over. At about 9 p.m., after hours of negotiation, Salinas finally came out of his house and was arrested without incident.
No one was injured.
Salinas has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The incident is undergoing further investigation.
The TV report definitely said the 'visitor' was a JW, but for some reason that detail is omitted from this article (which was edited at 7:59am today).
I wonder why they would edit OUT the JW reference?
