Explain the rationale for administering a blood transfusion to jehovah witness patient.?

Life saving: Blood transfusions are used as a life saving measure. When people lose blood rapidly their bodies can shut down and stop functioning ultimately leading to death. Simple replacement of blood cells from donors can be the difference between life and death. It is a doctor's attempt to prolong life and this is why they will recommend it if it will be beneficial to anybody.

Life Saving: Even though it may be life saving, most jehovah witnesses will still not allow the use of human products. Some may agree to the use of a cell saver or saving one's own blood for later use, when time allows. But in an emergency, it comes down to faith and personal belief. A personal choice should always trump medical decisions, regardless of possible outcome.
