As Jehovah's Witnesses we do not use whole Blood I.E Blood transfusions due the Biblical law found at ACTS 15:29-29
28 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to YOU, except these necessary things, 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!"
We use Non-Blood products that are safer. Some Witnesses will agree to accept the Blood fractions, others do not. It is a personal choice.
The Key word in that Scripture is Abstain, this means to stop doing or not to do some thing.

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.
