    This new policy was intensionally implemented to stop having so many JWS dieing that needed a transfusion

    and giving the WTS a black mark, particularly more than ever since most of these cases get the full attention from the media.

    Unfortunately taking just fractions of blood will only help a minority of situations.

    Gee I wonder if the taking of blood fractions could have saved those children's lives ? ....oh well its too bad for them......next

    "Unfortunately taking just fractions of blood will only help a minority of situations."

    I was under the impression the majority of transfusions now were fractions and transfusing whole blood was relatively rare.

    What a great illustration, V. Thanks for sharing. By extension, I thought a bit of GIF animation may be helpful to some.

    Oops, I thought I could post here but JWD won't accept Firefox GIF's. Here's the link to the one I loaded to Photobucket.

    Hey V,

    I like your analogy for comedic value. I'm going to shamelessly post my take on it here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/170121/1/Blood-Fractions-Policy-and-Milk-Products-compared

    While not as comical, I think it is more logical. Besides all that, I didn't take the time to create and host a snazzy mock graphic on the WTS blood diagram for dummies.

    If I did, it'd look something like this (Excuse my crap ASCII table):
