Because in The Bible, it states we shouldn't use or eat blood to sustain the body in any way. Some people abstain from eating blood but then accept a blood transfusion. This is wrong because imagine someone was an alcoholic, so his doctor said to not drink it. Would it be okay if he just simply shot it into his veins? No. Also, some people might say that Jehovah's Witnesses don't accept medical treatment. They say this because they don't accept transfusions. But, actually, they only want the best care for themselves and their families so, they don't want to take any chances. Someone might want to give blood but might have AIDS. The persinal will scan him/her but AIDS can't be found unless it's active so what happens when it's not? They can't find it. so they allow him/her to give blood. When someone has a blood tranfusions with that blood, they can get AIDS! Hopefully that answers your question.

Why does jehovas don't take blood transfusion?
"Jehovah's Witnesses" is what we are called. And we believe blood is sacred and should not be given away. However, some Jehovah's Witnesses do give and receive blood. It is a moral problem.
Do Jehovah Witnesses do blood transfusions even if their child is dying and NEED a blood transfusion because there is not much hope of survival if any hope of survival?
Jehovah's Witnesses who have lost blood are entitled to refuse a blood transfusion even if it will inevitably lead to their death; but they have no right to sentence their children to die. A qualified doctor is entitled to give a blood transfusion provided the child's consent is given. If the doctor is unhappy about this (though why should any doctor be unwilling top save a child's life?), the case should be referred to a doctor who is free from such qualms. If the Jehovah's Witness parent seeks to intervene to prevent the transfusion, the case should be rushed to court, if there is time. If not, the child should be given blood immediately.
Are Jehovah's Witnesses disfellowshipped for taking a blood transfusion?
YES. Our Watchtower 15th Jan 1961 page 63 says'' In view of the seriousness of taking blood into the human system by a transfusion, would violation of the Holy Scriptures in this regard subject the dedicated, baptized receiver of blood transfusion to being disfellowshiped from the Christian congregation?
