由于他们长期禁止所有输血,在2026年,耶和华见证人允许会员使用自己储存的血液进行手术. In 2026, Jehovah’s Witnesses permit members to use their own stored blood in surgery, a change from their longstanding ban on all transfusions.

2026年,耶和华见证人宣布政策变化允许成员选择是否储存和重复使用自己的血液进行医疗程序如手术,标志着他们长期以来禁止所有输血的转变. In 2026, Jehovah’s Witnesses announced a policy change allowing members to choose whether to store and reuse their own blood for medical procedures like surgery, marking a shift from their long-standing ban on all blood transfusions. 管理机构将这一变化描述为基于祷告和反思的"澄清",允许自生输血,同时保持对接受他人血液的禁令. The Governing Body described the change as a “clarification” based on prayer and reflection, permitting autologous transfusions while maintaining the prohibition on receiving blood from others. 虽然批评者认为这项更新仍限制了危急情况下的救生选择, 但它不涉及紧急情况或捐献血液. The update, which does not extend to emergency or donated blood, aims to balance religious beliefs with medical advances, though critics argue it still limits life-saving options in critical situations.
