Bloodless hospital told to teach army doctors how to do bloodless surgery.
What exactly does this have to do with the 'supernatural, religion or the life after'?

Hey sup Proper Dweeb? to answer your question the techniques were pioneered in response to Jehovahs Witnesses a religious group who were applying a religious principle.

I see. Do the Jehovahs Witnesses support the view expressed by Dr Américo Valério in a 1961 Watchtower publication that blood transfusions were often followed by "moral insanity, sexual perversions, repression, inferiority complexes, petty crimes"?

The video is not about blood transfusions. What its actually about is bloodless surgery. How you could have failed to notice this I cannot say. As for Dr Américo Valério I don't know what his findings were based upon and its therefore impossible to make a comment on their validity. Can you provide the data upon which his findings were based? The stance of Jehovahs Witnesses and blood transfusions is well known and readily available, you may find it at jw.org

I think it is important to also note here that many of the worlds greatest scientific inventions and developments were motivated by war. In fact I often hear it touted as an excuse for military spending ie 'well we might get all these other good developments'. I personally disagree. I would rather develop the best medicine (including surgery techniques) without war or religion being needed to drive the developments.

Sometimes even the greatest minds need a little inspiration to help them think outside of the box.



Thank goodness finally a decent and mature comment. You are welcome for the posting. With the inherent dangers of blood transfusions it would seem that anyone would want to know all the "options" available to themselves or their loved ones in case of an emergency with any medical procedure.
Some here who are bent on arguing on "any subject" with have that mind set so easily miss the point of this post and that is to simply share this information with anyone to use if they decide.

Is not "the point of this post" spiritual or religious in some way?

Are not Dr Américo Valério's "findings" a part of the stance of Jehovahs Witnesses on blood transfusions?



yes indeed, we have learned from experience that quite honestly they are uninterested in learning what the alternatives are and instead simply want to argue for arguments sake. Best kicked into touch.

Are you unable or unwilling to answer my question, I can't quite work it out?
