Many years back someone wrote to Bethel with questions about the blood doctrine.Here is the reply he got.

If even just half of what Orphan has concluded is accurate, it's explains a veritable shit-ton.

From what I understand so far.
People dying for lack of a blood transfusion in a third world country is an ideal situation for the Org.
Why?
It shows other Witnesses how "faithful" ones act
It highlights the need to move bloodless technology to these countries
Many high level (rich) JWs are heavily invested in all branches of this technology. They benefit when this technology spreads.
These high level investors support and give monetarily to all the Orgs endeavors.
It is very similar to powerful politicians who are put in office by very rich people who want their agendas and ideals carried out.
In that illustration, the GB would be the politicians and the bloodless tech folks would be just who they are - the money people.
It was a brilliant idea when you think about it....your religion forbids blood? Find a way around that and get rich while appearing to do a good deed for the world.
I can see this really taking off in African countries where there is so much fear of contamination in the blood supply which is scarce already.

Bloodless medicine and blood management is already established in many African locations. Shannon Farmer, and other JWs, have been grooming the African blood market for years*. Bloodless medicine is already there.
South Africa was the first country to give approval for artificial blood. Africa is a great market for alternative blood medicine.
(fun trivia fact - the industry that profited the most from the AIDs epidemic is the bloodless industry.)
* I have the documentation to support this...just not sure where it is right now... :)

OrphanCrow - "South Africa was the first country to give approval for artificial blood."
Even back when I was still in (and more-or-less a believer), I had grasped that artificial blood would be the medical Holy Grail for the WTS and JWs, purely for theological reasons.
It had never occurred to me, however, that it would also be a potential financial gold mine, particularly for the Organization itself.

The possibility of it being approved for use in the West now makes me feel very conflicted...
...the life-saving potential for artificial transfusable blood is undeniable, but the WTS could potentially benefit from it so much (both ideologically and financially), that it would make fighting them far more difficult...

Yes, it is conflicting. The benefits of artificial blood are undeniable. However, those benefits do not extend to the exclusive use of artificial blood to sustain life. It is invaluable when blood is in short supply or a distance away - it is often used to keep somebody alive until they can access what really works - real blood.
In the meantime, it doesn't perform as well as real blood does. The WTS and the noblood propaganda, that is proliferated by those associated with the WTS, concentrates on the adverse reactions that are possible with real blood transfusions. What they neglect to say, though, is that adverse reactions when using Hemopure, occur more often than when using allogenic blood..
They always demonize real blood, and never reveal that artificial blood is riskier than allogenic blood.
The WTS, and the JW blood societies, misrepresent the facts about blood.

you really bring it!Damn you, Millie! Lol! Now I had to go and find what I needed to back up my claim. I had to dig really deep.
From the wayback machine:
https://web.archive.org/web/20101209175544/http://www.bloodmanagement.org/content/blogsection/26/155
The Society for the Advancement of Blood Management (a JW society - the "father" of all other blood management societies) was targeting the following countries as far back as 2005: China, Croatia, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Latvia and Namibia, Africa.
*And the JW blood boys were in Russia, too. Funny how the company that manufactures Hemopure moved to Russia right at the time that the WTS was trying to get legal status as a religion. When the WTS didn't get religious status, coincidentally, Biopure moved their main operations back to the States. Makes a person go hmmmmm, doesn't it?
