I am not sure that you have the primary and secondary correctly identified in the question, because it would seem that larger fractions, such as red and white cells would be primary, and secondary would be the smaller fractions such as clotting agents, etc.

As regards to what we accept and do not accept, it is dictated by The Bible. At Acts 15:28,29 and other scriptures we are told to "abstain from blood." If you are told to abstain from alcohol, you do not drink it, or inject it into your veins. That is what christians are told regarding blood. Don't drink it, don't eat it, don't take it into your body.

Smaller blood fractions are regarded as a conscience matter for each christian to decide for himself. A christian may see the matter of blood fractions much in the same way that a particular recipe is prepared. While the dish may consist of a main ingredient such as a meat or a vegetable, and while all of the ingredients are required to make that recipe, the smaller ingredients such as salt or other seasonings by themselves are not it, and only the combination of these ingredients can be referred to as that particular dish. Some JW's may view it this way, and therefore accept certain blood fractions that do not violate their conscience. Other JW's may choose differently and not accept the same fractions that someone else would. It depends on what that particular witness has resolved in his or her own heart according to their own conscience.

Please note:

In the above answer the term 'Christian' is used on several occasions as one who abstains from blood. It is important to note, however, that the Christian Church worldwide do not accept this teaching and are allowed to eat anything as taught by Jesus. It is only the group called the 'Jehovah's Witnesses' who erroneoulsy teach this, and this group is regarded as being little more than a cult by the vast majority of Christians worldwide.

Why can Jehovah witnesses accept secondary blood fractions because they can pass the barrier of the fetus while primary fractions as white blood cells also pass and are forbidden?

Blood is the combination of all the ingredients together. These smaller ingredients are not blood. Many of these are found in the food we eat every day. Many are found in vaccinations that our children have to get to attend school. These fractions are up to the individual to become informed and decide for themselves what they will do.

Primary is a direct response and report (source, basically) coming from a real witness or writing that was made by a real witness of a situation. Secondary, is well...secondary. It is not totally accurate and coming from a witness. Secondary sources are made from primary sources. Secondary sources would be textbooks, while primary sources would be from real live witnesses, journals from witnesses, and archealogical findings and artifacts.Primary source is information that you have collected yourself, this can be in a form of survey, asking questions etc.Secondary source is information from an external source such as TV, internet, Books etc.
