Stem cells - Watchtower position

by Dagney in

does anyone know the wt's position on medical treatment using stem cells?

i don't even know how to go about finding out this information.

if anyone could tell me where to look or what the current position is by the society, i am most appreciative.. i would like to recommend the treatment to a jw relative, but don't want to get involved in an argument if it is forbidden.

I'm with you smiddy. I was raised by parents suspicious of everything promoted by a cult that loved to fabricate "special knowledge" from random words in a bronze age text. None of it is logical. And a BIG pet peeve is they gladly take sanitized life saving products from donated blood of their enemies. JW's are takers...never giving back to any system designed for the good of all.

This particular treatment is alternative and not done in the USA. The stem cells come from who knows where, I don't care...the results are astounding, life saving. I think it is too radical for my JW family, sadly, because I know it would help. This is not in the AMA wheel house. I will pursue it myself once my broken hand heals. Maybe I'll plant a seed that way.

I appreciate so much the contributions of all on this board. The knowledge and abilities are amazing and together we are a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you OrphanCrow!

I can see that within the system this treatment can be used when certain criteria are met. That is really good to know.

Thank you so much again!

Hello all,

Does anyone know the WT's position on medical treatment using stem cells? I don't even know how to go about finding out this information. If anyone could tell me where to look or what the current position is by the society, I am most appreciative.

I would like to recommend the treatment to a JW relative, but don't want to get involved in an argument if it is forbidden. I believe the stem cells come from clinics, (could be an issue), and are mixed with blood drawn from the body and infused back into the body, also could be an issue.

So many rules I couldn't care less about, but if it is conscience matter, I would like to at least tell them about it.

TIA for any help.

MY BEST FRIEND

by compound complex in

jw
friends

he walked right past me, looking straight ahead.. years before, hal and i walked the same path, the best of pals.

laughing and joking while endeavoring to maintain some level of decorum during our serious work of being a theatrical spectacle to men and angels.

although we hadn't seen each other in years, hal must have gotten word .

Dagney

Ok Coco, you have me in tears.

Recent occurrences have left me sad, annoyed, frustrated, angry... I wish sometimes I could be more unfeeling like these JW's I know. But that's wrong...having feelings is what led me out of that cult, thankfully.

I watched about half of it yesterday while here at work. I am amazed at how many boxes this guy checked in my head, the familiar scriptures used in his rhetoric. So so familiar.
