"Should Christians agree to the use of these fractions in their treatment? We cannot answer this question. The Bible does not contain any specific instructions on this matter, and therefore the Christian himself needs to make a deliberate decision before God."

Since OSB allows you to transfuse all substances that are part of the plasma, we can formulate practical advice for practicing doctors:

"If you need to give a plasma transfusion to a Jehovah's Witness patient, never tell him that you are going to transfuse the plasma. On the contrary, tell him that you pour him water to replenish the volume of circulating blood and prevent dehydration, inject him with albumin, immunoglobulins and fibrinogen so that each performs its function, and some organic and inorganic substances to improve the composition of the blood. And that's it! The conscience of Jehovah's Witness will be clear, he will agree to this procedure. And you will be relieved of unnecessary and lengthy proceedings and scandals with this Jehovah's Witness, his representatives, the elder of the congregation that this Jehovah's Witness visits, and representatives from the nearest Hospital Liaison Committee, whom the elder and the patient are obliged to invite in difficult times."

From the latest "enlightenments" of anonymous authors of OSB publications, it became known [5] that Jehovah's Witnesses can agree to the use of drugs prepared with the use of blood components and from formed elements, which was previously not allowed:

"Different fractions of blood – its smaller components – are obtained not only from plasma, but also from other main components of blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets). Thus, interferons and interleukins are obtained from leukocytes, which are used to treat some viral infections and malignant diseases. Factors that promote wound healing are obtained from platelets. Other medications are also emerging, which (at least for now) contain smaller components of blood. Treatment with these drugs involves transfusion not of the main components of the blood, but of their particles, or fractions. Should Christians agree to the use of these factions in their treatment? We cannot answer this question. The Bible does not contain any specific instructions on this matter, and therefore the Christian himself needs to make a deliberate decision before God."

The last two sentences of the quote indicate to the Jehovah's Witness reading these lines that if he agrees to the use of these drugs, the OSB will not accuse him of violating God's "law" of abstaining from blood.

Thus, similar to the above counsel, a practicing physician who has encountered a Jehovah's Witness in his work who insists that he should abstain from blood may compose a similar text if it is necessary to transfuse the patient with red blood cells, platelets, or leukocytes.

It is interesting to note that the example of the pregnant woman is inconsistent with the fourth principle of the CCP of continuity. The mother-fetus system is indeed continuous, the interaction between the mother and the fetus is constant, uninterrupted, there is no need to consider any artificial tubes as "part of her body" – they simply do not exist, there is no need to consider everything that the mother gives to the fetus as "still her own" – it is already her own. Thus, immunoglobulins and other substances enter the fetal body continuously. On the contrary, in order for a Jehovah's Witness to be injected with immunoglobulin, it is necessary to collect blood, store it, process it, and store the drug – all discrete actions, which, even with a great stretch, cannot be called continuous or with small delays.

We have already seen how the OSB uses scientific data as arguments (the example of a pregnant woman), when it is not possible to find grounds from the Bible, but something is very much wanted to be resolved. Let's take a small example: "Studies have shown that blood taken from the body cavity remains sterile for 6 hours" [67]. Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses use this scientific fact to allow the short-term storage of their own blood? Then many questions of the applicability of blood-saving drugs would be removed.

In fact, the logical intricacies of the anonymous authors of the OSB are visible. The purpose of reasoning with a pregnant woman is to show the following line of reasoning. God, having created the mother and fetus in such a way that some of the components of their blood could be exchanged, could not have violated His prohibition against the use of blood. If during pregnancy there is an exchange of elements of the blood of the mother and child (namely, God arranged the mother's womb and the process of intrauterine development in this way), then, the Jehovah's Witnesses conclude, God does not object to the use of these components.

What can be answered to this cunning logic? The answer is quite simple and lies on the surface. If Jehovah's Witnesses want to use blood components, but they reject donation, reject blood storage, and care about reverence for the holy object of blood, but allow organ donation,55 then they should use this donor material to obtain these components. Where did they substantiate on the basis of the Bible in their publications, in which they allowed the use of "small fractions of blood", the permission to use donor blood as a raw material for obtaining blood components, which, according to their ideas, should be "poured out on the ground like water"?

In my opinion, the reasoning of Jehovah's Witnesses completely loses all meaning when the following facts become known.

It is well known that a person is quite likely to have twins.56 Although scientists cannot answer with complete certainty what the reason for the birth of twins is, it is unlikely that the event of the birth of twins can be attributed to unnatural or unusual for humans.

It is well known that twins are of two types. Dizygotic (dizygotic, non-identical) twins develop from two simultaneously fertilized eggs. Monozygotic (identical, identical) twins arise when one zygote separates at an early stage of development. The following schemes of fetal membranes in twins are possible:
