This video made my day, thanks for posting this information! The viewpoint on blood from Jehovah's witnesses turns out to be not so "extreme" & "dangerous" as critics initiate.

By the way, good to see dr. Aryeh Shander again. He already was quoted in Awake! magazine in 8th januari 2000.

Thank you very much NJN NEWS! This is a very important subject for me. You should try and find other hospitals doing this bloodless medicine and do a news story about them. It will be very popular. 5 Stars + Sub.

Re-infusion of blood for surgical procedures is quite different than a mortally wounded person who has sustained a dangerous blood loss,this person would require the lost volume with blood and blood products to survive.We need to make sure we understand and can distinguish this difference.The red cross and other blood harvesting groups will need to continue with their jobs in the blood collection field.

That might be true but what i find so beautiful about this video is the recognition of bloodless surgery. It might come from a strange source, the military, but nevertheless is clears lies and deceit. The world is already filled with too much of it don't you think?

Made my day.

The Bible has always told us to refrain from blood...in it is the souce of life.

Frankly I wouldn't want any one elses blood put into me anyway. Wayyy too personal.

I want to apologize for my out burst yesterday.

Bad day ~ we all have one at some point.

With the blood-alternative and cell-salvage practices hopefully more lives can be saved. What wasn't mentioned is the fact it takes a more detail-oriented surgeon and a longer time in the operating room. With that being said I doubt it will be used on all. So, I am glad that more lives will be helped by having a shorter recovery time and w/o as many complications. 2Peter 3:9 ~ Isa 2:4

Excellent indeed!

@redrover2904

Well, you do make an interesting point; but it is true that Jehovah's Witnesses have gotten so much flack for their stand on blood transfusions that it is probably gratifying to be shown that their stand is not so crazy after all.

Oh gee, take one thing Jehovah says but not the other "thou shall not kill".....

Let's put this to work in our army....I'm sure he is proud of that.....
