Yes. Just as properly bled meat may also have trace amounts remaining in it. Jehovah's Witnesses simply take reasonable precautions not to ingest blood. That means not seeking it out, while also not going to extremes to avoid natural trace amounts, such as might appear in breast milk.

What are some movies about the Jehovahs Witnesses and their controversial Blood doctrines?
I would recommend the video "No Blood - Medicine Meets the Challenge". Ask any of Jehovah's Witnesses to get it for you when they call at your door.

Which group does not allow blood transfusions because they believe that taking blood into the body is morally wrong?
The group is know as "Jehovah's Witnesses". They believe that receiving blood transfusions are the same as drinking blood, which is stickily forbidden in the old testament law and repeated in the new testament book of Acts where Gentile believers were to "they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication." The problem comes down to whither or not transfusions are drinking blood or not.
How was it scriptural for the Watchtower to allow blood transfusions for Bulgarian Jehovahs Witnesses in 1998 after signing a contract with Bulgaria before the European Commission for Human Rights?
I believe that you have been misinformed. Please, consider your source before making false accusations on the Witnesses. There is no answer to your question.
Are Jehovahs Witnesses at greater risk for not accepting blood transfusions?
No!In fact, some added benefits for not accepting the blood transfusion techniques.Please see LINK below; dated July 3, 2012Not necessarily. It would depend on the circumstances. As one of the links below suggests there can be benefits from surgeons performing cardiac operations and Witnesses have been shown to have a better recovery rate.However, as another link below suggests, in different circumstances it could mean that Witnesses are at greater risk for not accepting blood.It must be stressed though, that the 'no blood' policy of Jehovah's Witnesses has nothing at all to do with any perceived risks or benefits of blood transfusions.The policy is not based on medical reasons. Even if blood was proven to be 100% safe, or 100% fatal and there were no alternatives, Witnesses would still refuse blood.
When hospitalized are there any special procedures for Jehovahs witnesses?
Jehovah's Witenesses do not receive blood transfusions, for religious reasons. Depending therefore, on the reason for their hospitalization, various nonblood fluids volume expanders might be adminitstered when one might otherwise have been given blood. Other than that, Jehovah's witnesses, would expect the same level of care, consultation rights and legal protection as any other patient when in hospital.
Can jehovahs witnesses eat anything?
Yes - - minus any kind of blood; and I suppose human flesh (not even in emergency situations; ie a plane crash where others might decide to eat human flesh due to the dire situation; we would not. God did not give us blood to eat; neither human flesh.)
