Interesting article on the LA Times front page this morning about a doctor in Fresno, CA who treats JWs without blood. He only promises to repect their wishes, not that they won't die. JW patients flock to him from all over the world. Heartbreaking because many still die needlessly, especially those with leukemia for which blood transfusions are a standard part of their care.

But what is the view on stem cell transplants. An article in awake seems to be against them.
So it's really nice that this Dr accomodates JW's in risking their life, to show respect for life.
He is probably charging them a fortune...
Some jws docs will tell you to wait for the new system.

It actually is considered a lucrative niche market. I was told that by a physician at the Cleveland Clinic
JW's advancing the science of blood less treatments one dead body at a time.
