Blood Transfusions

its called collateral circulation. what it means is that blood flow from an artery on one side can be shared to the opposite side(since most cerebral arteries are paired). blood from the anterior circulation can also be shared with the posterior circulation and vise versa.

Do Jehovah Witness children die from not getting a blood transfusion?

Yes children, have died from NOT getting a blood transfusion because, of what Jehovah Witnesses said. The children have died from blood infections, car crashes, fights, and even cancer and NEVER had gotten a blood transfusion. These children could have been ALIVE because of blood transfusions, and NOT just by bloodless surgery alone!

When someone posts a question like this it is ONLY intended to generate an emotional response, by the use of "children". The fact is that "people" rarely die from refusing a transfusion. Of course, anyone can be involved in a serious accident or unplanned life-threatening situation. Jehovah's Witnesses have respect for life and therefore do not engage in high-risk sports, so they are rarely exposed to such a situation. In the rare case where there is profuse blood loss, there is no way to say definitively that a death resulted from a refusal of blood transfusion or that blood or other treatment would have guaranteed life. However, safe alternatives are almost always available. Jehovah's Witnesses have done much to educate the medical profession about the dangers of blood transfusions and they have ALWAYS been protected against serious illness and death by blood-borne infection, blood type errors and other complications. That is why most hospitals today require patients to sign a waiver if they wish to have blood. What we DO know is that many have saved their lives by insisting on alternatives.

Mature people know that those who base decisions on emotion only will make poor judgements. well-informed Jehovah's Witnesses trust divine wisdom and feel as Joshua when he said "As for me and my household, we shall serve Jehovah"! (Josh. 24:15).

Yes, of course sometimes Witness children and adults die from not getting a blood transfusion. As an example, The Watchtower Society's magazine 'The Awake', issue 22nd May 1994, relates the accounts of five Witness youths who refused blood transfusions and later died, along with about twenty pictures on the front cover of other children who did likewise.

It says in the magazine, 'By rejecting blood transfusions that could conceivably have extended his present life, Adrian Yeatts showed himself to be one of the many young people who put God first.'

However, the issue for Witnesses is not whether or not children or adults,

die or survive from taking or refusing a transfusion.

The issue is obedience to the interpretation of the Scripture in Acts 15

'keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood' to mean

that transfusions of whole blood or its four main components are not allowed.

When the antibodies in the patient's serum attack antigens on the erythrocytes in donor blood, this is known as red blood cell incompatibility. Patients should receive blood with the same ABO and Rh(D) classification. A and B are dissimilar antigens on the red cells. The immune system recognizes antigens as foreign. O cells do not have A or B antigens.

How can agglutination of blood be prevented in patients with severe anaemia receiving blood transfusion therapy?
