Do Jehovah's Witnesses accept stem cells? What about for bone marrow replacement therapy in cases of Cancer?

Not embryonic stem cells.





But for others, it is just like the blood products (these products may also not contain blood but at some time during their process may have used A CELL of animal blood or albumin) or medical procedures for transference of blood (cell saver or removing a small amount of blood for 2 minutes to mix with chemical radiation or other medicine and reinserting) - there has to be a one on one look at something like this for every Witness patient.





Medical advances are taking place at lightning speed. What may not be acceptable today may be tomorrow. So AT THE TIME of possible need, a Witness will look at EVERY THING involved and will make an informed decision for their particular case that will not conflict with his or her conscience and Jehovah's standards as outlined in the Bible.





So if I said no today, I may say yes tomorrow.





And if I said yes today, I may say no tomorrow.





That may not be an answer you want, but it is the answer.





Everyone is an individual. Their health needs have to be looked at one on one. Some people cannot take something as common as an aspirin or certain vitamins or herbs. All medical procedures must be discussed with medical personnel and the person is ultimately allowed to make their own decision, no matter what a doctor recommends or does not recommend.





That is what a conscience is for. And a conscience guides us when a clear statement is NOT provided in the Bible. If there is a clear statement, we accept the Bible.Do Jehovah's Witnesses accept stem cells? What about for bone marrow replacement therapy in cases of Cancer?
Almost everyone supports adult stem cells, which is what the bone marrow thing you are talking about is. In fact, even though its called a stem cell transplant now, in reality it is the same thing as a bone marrow transplant. Its called a stem cell tranpslant because the cells in the marrow that make the transplant work are the stem cells that create the blood and bone.





Its embryonic and fetal stem cells that people have a problem with. However, I think Jehovah Witnesses have problems with transplants? but Im not one, so Im not sure. Im only answering to explain that what you are talking about is the type of stem cell research that virtually everyone supports. The only people I have seen who dont support either didnt know the difference or had a problem with western medicine as a whole.
They better accept them as their members will dwindled. Agree??
I think they reject stem cells but accept bone marrow
