Well, honestly, though it serves the purpose, that cartoon is a little bit of an understatement. It's not just 13 fractions that are permitted.

There is no part of blood that JWs cannot accept from the donor blood supply so long as it is not classified as "a major component" by JW leadership. That's right. JWs can accept 100 percent of what is donated to the local blood bank, so long as it is sufficiently processed first.

I am a retired Engineer. i chose 13 fractions without labeling them … deliberately.

Opinions vary on how many fractions there are, and even what constitutes a blood fraction.

There is an old saying in Land Surveying, which is 1/3 detective work, 1/3 legal work, and 1/3 complex mathematics…..

”You can declare your work perfect when no one else can prove otherwise.”

Yes. I’m familiar with what you say. Specifications may ask for documents of certification, and if you send a stack of small-print documents an inch thick, it just gets filed away by a bean-counter and that’s the end of it. Your in! It’s bad, but oftentimes that’s how it works.

Lol! You may have no idea. Then again, you might. There are fractions of fractions of fractions of… Literally, there is no end until you get to quarks and leptons. On the other hand, the very idea that the Bible supports a position that white cells from blood should be treated as blood is wholly without support in biblical text or in nature. In the natural world it is utterly impossible that, for example, white cells are distinguishable, let alone a “major component” of blood compared to a product like cryosupernatant plasma.

By way of direct reply, several times I have mentioned to my wife my favorite vehicle would be the Feynman Van.

What does that say about intellectual growth hindered by a narrow focus on one's own diploma?

A blood substitute, also known as artificial blood or blood surrogate, is a substance designed to imitate and perform certain functions of natural blood. Its objective is to offer a viable alternative to blood transfusions, which involve transferring blood or blood-derived products from one individual to another.

Can you say synthetic blood?

[Pudgy]

Synthetic human blood is currently highly filtered cow blood.

It’s still blood.

What does that say about you, Georgie?

 

[Pudgy]

Georgie, if you aspire to be seen as an expert, fer cryin out loud, READ your own references, plus hundreds of other articles on the subject …. FIRST.

[George88]

Seriously, Pudgy, do you honestly believe that when people read articles about meat consumption among the entire human race, they imagine everyone eating grass? Clearly, what we need here is a dose of common sense. If you follow a vegetarian diet, then you may feel excluded. However, I personally enjoy indulging in a healthy t-bone steak every now and then, and there's absolutely nothing anyone who consumes meat can do to change that. Therefore, when it comes to intellectual reasoning, there is truly no distinction between consuming synthetic blood or engaging in any other seemingly illogical trend.

If you and Many are willing to accept carrion, what is the issue?

[Pudgy]

Please quote anythingI have EVER WRITTEN to justify your screwball premises.

I believe that the idea behind God's intention was to eliminate all forms of evil from humanity, including any brutal or animalistic tendencies inherited from the animal kingdom.

But only temporarily. Temporarily stopping evil. Nothing else.

God has, to my knowledge, never had aversion of humans eating meat of animals as though doing so was wrong or contrary to His will.

God doesn't even have an aversion to blood. Liters of blood were used for the altar. While the animals are being slaughtered and the blood is sprinkled on the altar, weren't the hands, face and body of the people present "defiled" with the blood? Well, remember how we react when blood stains our hands or clothes.

Also.

Deuteronomy 14:21 New King James Version (NKJV)“You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God.

So the blood remained in the body. And blood can be eaten, without possible health risks. Or did God intend to "kill the unbelievers" with rotten food and clotted blood?

.........and you can create a profit too.
