" In claiming that blood transfusion is unsafe, the Watchtower Society's website quotes a 50-year-old medical article that suggests blood transfusion has a very high death rate. The website also suggests that HIV is in the blood supply, quoting an article written in 1989, four years after the implementation of HIV screening of the blood system. In other words, current evidence about transfusion safety is ignored.
The Watchtower also tells its followers that blood transfusion is not necessary. For example, it implies that normal saline can be adequate, even though saline completely lacks the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells provided by transfusion. When such religious instruction contradicts doctors' recommendations, patients and parents can be confused."
