This is a question for both JW and those in the medical community?

Question

Is there blood in an organ when it is transplanted ..

This is a simple yes no please .. sermons not required

Answer 1

Yes, typically in trace amounts.

Interestingly, trace quantities of blood are also quite common in milk and meat, even when they have been conscientiously processed according to modern methods. Thus, the conscience of a sincere Christian may move him to choose a vegetarian diet (or to refuse an organ transplant).

Of course, the bible plainly authorizes meat-eating. Thus, another Christian might reason that such trace amounts are tolerated by Jehovah God.

(Genesis 9:3-4) Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. ...I do give it all to you [Noah and your descendants]. Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.

(James 4:17) If one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him.

(Acts 15:20,28,29) Write them [the various Christian congregations] to abstain from things polluted by idols [the meat of which is likely to contain blood] and from fornication and from what is strangled [the meat of which is likely to contain blood] and from blood. ...For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols [the meat of which is likely to contain blood] and from blood and from things strangled [the meat of which is likely to contain blood] and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper.

Answer 3

I read somewhere in Wt.Soc literature a long time ago the wonderful phrase, 'extra-vascular fluid' which apparently covers a multitude of sins. It looks like watered down blood, but it's not blood, actually, according to the Wt.Soc. But their definition of blood is a fluid thing (pun intended). It's not blood when you ingest all and any blood fractions separately, but it is blood when you ingest them together. There are NO simple answers to JW blood questions, I'm afraid.

Answer 4

yes there will always be a residual amount of blood, not only in the blood vessels but actually in the tissue itself

Answer 5

Couldn't possably be, because the Governing body says that you can not have any body elses blood put into your body!

If the Witnesses do not see the blind devotion to man in this one issue, it is hopeless and the only thing we can do is to warn those who are watching on the outside.
