You quoted from Awake! 3/8/93 p.5:
"When a woman is forced to submit to a rapist out of terror or disorientation, it does not mean that she consents to the act. Consent is based on choice without threat and is active, not passive."
Let JWs apply the same reasoning to the blood transfusion issue:
"When a person is forced to submit to the Society's blood policy out of terror or disorientation, it does not mean that he or she consents to the act. Consent is based on choice without threat and is active, not passive."
