On your site New Light On Blood on the page http://www.ajwrb.org/abstain.htm you write:
Current Watchtower teaching is that the allowed blood components are limited to only those that pass through the placental barrier during pregnancy and that on this basis a Witness may accept them in good conscience. The reasoning is that since Jehovah God allows these blood components to pass from mother to child, it is logical to conclude that God wouldn't break his own law. This might seem reasonable were it not for the fact that medical science has shown that practically all blood components pass through the placental barrier.
My request would be:
Can you provide an authoritative quote (or several if possible) that shows that some blood components that are banned by the Society are able to cross the placental barrier?
