The WTS is a sly, slick and wicked one
" Cell salvage captures and return blood lost during surgery. Blood is recovered from a wound or body cavity, washed or filtered, and then reinfused into the patient."_________Keep yourselves in God's love page 216
IS THE SAME THING AS :
Blood lost in an ( accident ). Is recovered by the use of ( donated blood from the Red Cross ), and then transfused into the body
Reinfused is another word for transfused does not matter if it's your blood or donated once it leaves the body it has to be put back in
cell salvage only wash and filters the blood, does not fractionate it. therefore it goes in whole
.

Regardless of how much of the fractions they are willing to take they are still going against the original plan of 'pouring the blood out on the ground'.
So apparently nothing should be done to the blood because it should have hit the dirt immediately.
They will never be able to allow whole blood as they are too far into their own BS and how would they explain to the thousands of families that its now OK?

that have left their body transfuse back in

BTW, on the fraction issue, a barrel of crude oil is broken down (refined or distilled) into a number of derivative products, such as gasoline, diesel, petrochemicals, etc. But that doesn't change the fact they were derived from crude oil; and possess the properties of the source. To say that RBC are not whole blood is disingenuous legalese quibbling (which is not surprising, what you'd expect from a Society with presidents from the legal profession, eg JUDGE Rutherford). Interesting that the WTBTS says that blood fractions are OK, as if disassembling a stolen car in a chop shop somehow protects the thief from being charged with Grand Theft Auto. Hint: it doesn't. So why did the Society do this? Hmmm, here's a wild guess: maybe they realize the liability exposure they'd face from wrongful death lawsuits, when a non-believing family member hires a living, breathing lawyer to take them to court over their DF policy? Ya' don't think THAT could have something to do with it? Making it a "matter of conscience" absolves the Society of legal liability, as the decision is solely on the person, not the Society. It's a prudent legal move under this "system of things", yes, but they're exposing themselves as being hypocrites, re-writing clear passages in the OT and NT. The GB is thus the unfaithful and indiscreet slave who disobeys the commands of the master given before he left. Of course, that WAS the whole point of the Parable of the "Faithful and Wise Slave": it was a cautionary tale of woe for the unfaithful slave who doesn't follow his instructions to a tee. PS anyone know why the JW's NWT is the ONLY one to replace the greek word translated as "Wise" by all others, instead using "Discreet"? Odd choice of words, esp in reference to a slave/servant that may have information of indescretions of the Master that need to be protected.

So why did the Society do this?
They did it back in 1958 because it was already becoming impossible to live in modern society without accepting a fraction in one form or another at some point in your life.

TD said, "They did it back in 1958 because it was already becoming impossible to live in modern society without accepting a fraction in one form or another at some point in your life."
Yup. Perhaps the same reason the OT/NT never contained scriptures stating policy for use of human blood for medical uses, too? It wasn't even imaginable even to a God claimed to have prophetic powers, and most references prohibiting the eating of animal or human blood are in relation to cultic religious worship practices of their neighbors (although NT no doubt pertains to ancient practice of eating human blood in the diet, due to the misbelief that the practice imparts strength of the "donor" to the "recipient").
Ahh, the foolishness of still trying to apply the physiological beliefs of hunter-gatherer society (who were shifting to an agrarian lifestyle) to the modern age.

Great news!
I've found the OFFICIAL link of the Agreement between the Watchtower and Bulgaria (no sanctions to members that use blood treatment):
