Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 8:23AM Who would have ever imagined that the United States military is going to adopt the approach Jehovah's Witnesses have pioneered as regards avoiding the wholesale use of blood? This development is sure to set multitudes of JW bashers off gnashing their teeth.
US military, bloodless surgery Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 3:56AM 
"Living in the small western Kansas town of Hill City, Stinemetz could get a liver transplant, one that would be paid for by Medicaid, at the University of Kansas Hospital. But she also would have to compromise her Jehovah’s Witness principles, because she would receive a blood transfusion, something she believes violates God’s law. Stinemetz, however, could undergo bloodless transplant surgery in Omaha, Neb., but Kansas is refusing to pay for the out-of-state procedure when a transplant is readily available in Kansas. That puts Stinemetz at the center of a constitutional controversy that pits Kansas’ Medicaid rules against her right to exercise her freedom of religion — with her life hanging in the balance."
