Pages 571-576 | Published online: 04 Aug 2009
 

Abstract

With the exception of blood transfusions, Jehovah's Witnesses accept the full range of medical treatments. We are very much interested therefore in the development of blood substitutes. We greatly appreciate the efforts being made throughout the world by researchers and doctors in this regard and hope through this conference to learn more about these studies. We are also pleased to have this opportunity to present the view of Jehovah's Witnesses on blood substitutes.

At present, the number of Jehovah's Witnesses and their associates in Japan is about 380,000. There are more than 2,000,000 in the United States, and about 13,000,000 in the world, increasing at the rate of about 4.4 percent per year.
