Albumin hypocrisy: treating burns with albumin requires 45 liters of whole blood (from nine humans), meaning the Watchtower implicitly endorses the collection and processing of the very blood it forbids.

Treating third-degree burns over 30-50% of the body requires ~600g of albumin. To extract that albumin, 45 liters of whole blood — the equivalent blood of nine adult humans — must be collected and processed. The Watchtower therefore implicitly endorses blood collection, storage, and processing while explicitly forbidding transfusion. Additionally, EPO (erythropoietin), a red blood cell stimulant recommended by JW medical guidance as an alternative to transfusion, is itself manufactured using albumin. Albumin makes up 2.2% of blood; platelets (which are banned) make up only 0.17%, meaning there is roughly 10x more albumin than platelets in any blood sample.
