What blood transfusions can a Jehovah's witness have?

Jehovah's Witnesses don't accept any kind of whole blood transfusions. They will not accept products containing major blood components, ie whole red cells, whole white cells, whole plasma, or whole platelets.They will accept transfusions of all fractions of those components, eg haemoglobin, and non-blood alternatives.According to the Official Jehovah's Witesses Media siteunder "Alternatives to blood transfusions" (see link below)"Jehovah's Witnesses request nonblood alternatives, which are widely used and accepted by the medical community. [...] Since the Bible makes no clear statement about the use of minor blood fractions or the immediate reinfusion of a patient's own blood during surgery, a medical process known as blood salvaging, the use of such treatments is a matter of personal choice."
