Sure, but moreso along the lines of this: When mormonism was made up blood transfusions had already been around nearly 200 years. That whole time mormons have been going along happily killing their cult members by denying them access to modern medical care apart from all the other atrocities they visit on their cultists who don’t buy the flavor-aid. Given that blood supplies are a scarce resource and the historical contribution rate of mormons is zero, why is it a good thing for a group to arbitrarily decide it’s time to start drawing out of the supply without contributing to it? It’s not like vaccines where their backwards beliefs affect other people around them; they’re only hurting themselves, and every one of them could walk off from their cult any time they wanted.
Would you prefer they disallow medical intervention at all?
OK, but that would effect the bottom line of their massive cash and property holdings, so they won’t do that. They’ll instead try to negotiate with science up to whatever keeps their coffers full to further their causes of tracking down escaped SA victims and baptising jews who were murdered in the Holocaust.
I think it’s a lot more plausible (99%) that some higher up muckety muck in the mormon church or some large donor got caught receiving blood transfusions and the rule change is about that, with a wink and a nudge that no real mormon would actually partake. There’s nothing on the scientific front that changed and I doubt there’s some mormon council that sits around debating that kind of thing.
Remember that no matter how much you stump for the mormon church they still think of you the worst punishment that they have: you’re going to hell.
All variations on christianity are equally worthless. You’re free to apologize for them all you want, but they like it better if you put your name on the line to join up officially and start giving them money.

wtf are you talking about? Mormons have never prohibited blood transfusions or donating blood.
There’s no distinction between lds and mormons to the protestants.
please, have less strong opinions about things you know nothing about. lds and mormon are literally synonyms.
