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.

Incidentally, this questioner has asked this same question repeatedly for many months.

Na verdade, eles devem seguir a ética da Medicina e não da religião.
Se o paciente e a família querem a transfusão de sangue, será essa a regra que irá ditar o seu comportamento.

Acredito que devem acatar as ordem da VIDA se são médicos eles também tem normas e se não aceitam não podem exercer a profissão.
A vida é o mais importante em qualquer ocasião.

Um médico não deve ser Testemunha de Jeová e um Testemunha de Jeová não deve ser medico.
No momento que alguém não segue esta regra muitas pessoas passam a correr perigo de vida, ou seja todos os pacientes deste " Testemunha médico de jeová".
É sempre bom seguir o conselho: Cada um na sua
