TO THE EDITOR:
Albumin is added as a stabilizer to recombinant human erythropoietin and the newly licensed recombinant human antihemophilic factor. Mann and colleagues [1] state that the acceptance of albumin is an individual decision by Jehovah's Witnesses. However, in conversation with Church Elders, we have learned that albumin is considered acceptable by the Church, based on the precedent that it passes freely between mother and fetus during pregnancy [2].
