Medicos testemunhas de jeova , pode recusar aplicar transfusao de sangue por objeccao de consciencia ?

Answer 1

This question seems to ask whether a healthcare professional who is a Jehovah's Witness can administer a blood transfusion to a non-Witness patient. Each healthcare professional among Jehovah's Witnesses must decide this for himself, being careful not to violate his conscience. The article mentioned in this question notes that a medical professional among Jehovah's Witnesses could conscientiously implement any treatment he was instructed to implement.

There are no legal implications if a physician uses one entirely valid medical strategy over another, assuming he (and his insurance company's lawyer) can provide evidence that there was reasonable expectation that the outcome would be comparable or better. Please be assured that there is literally no circumstance in which the infusion of whole blood is superior to modern techniques.

Anti-Witness critics and pro-blood activists conveniently ignore the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the bible to comment upon minor blood fractions (those derived from plasma, platelets, or red/white cells). It seems remarkable to suggest that one or more of these targeted treatments would be less preferable than the kind of scattershot "see what sticks" methodology represented by old-fashioned blood transfusion.
