Decizie istorică: Martorii lui Iehova renunță la interdicția transfuziilor de sânge după 80 de ani / Revoltă în comunitate

Jehovah's Witnesses have lifted an 80-year ban on blood transfusions, allowing members to receive blood components. This decision, announced in a recent update, has sparked debate within the community. Previously, receiving blood was seen as a violation of divine law, equating it to consuming blood. Members can now choose anonymously whether to accept blood products, reflecting a significant shift in doctrine. The organization had previously allowed autotransfusions, and this new policy extends to the main blood components used in modern medicine. The ban originated during World War II, based on scriptural interpretations regarding the sanctity of blood.
