I'd say the answer to this is easy- its doctrine. Its belief. Any belief makes seemingly contradictory readings internally consistent. If you belief a blood transfusion will violate a rule about eating blood, to violate that rule violates a bigger rule- the first commandment. I mean thou shall do no murder (and unless god commands the slaying is the caveat).
Is stopping dialysis that keeps you alive suicide? Chemo? What about just not taking your blood pressure meds? Yes? No?

Checked it. One thing to use instead of blood is called "Perfluorcarbon". :)

We have beautiful landscapes to draw. And awesome coffee and beer. :D

We did have law suits here about cases like that but the doctors always win because it would be non-assistance of a person in danger if they don't help. But then again ... as far as I know the JWs have something with them which is like blood but not really blood and can be used for transfusion if necessary. I do not really know what but something synthetic.

"Is denying medical treatment suicide?"
There is no answer to this reason. It would be possible to discuss this on a scientific way or on an ethical way but when ever religion takes part all logic is lost. JWs let others die because it's there belief and everybody who doesn't follow this belief thinks that cruel. If I imagine that my loved ones would let me die because of a belief it makes me shudder.

we are all decendents of Noah and adam & Eve and we all share some of the same blood cells so why not give blood to your brothers and sisters!

No sucking people's blood? That's wrong? Where are you from? :)

BTW: As far as I am informed doctors in Germany give a shit about that and put their duty of saving lives above the crazy beliefs of people.

That scripture was written how many years before blood transfusions were invented?

you got a good point. one scripture says; "love your brother as you would love yourself". So when people donate blood, I would think it's an act of compassion.
