PBA – They think you’re controvesial?!? I think noone should donate blood!
E/o -“What -are you crazy?”
If there was no blood -the Gov. & Pharm. companies would finally make a suitable substitute. All the fake blood so far has always been rejected by the FDA. Now I smell a rat. It is possible every single one was dangerous, but it’s also possible that the FDA is playing politics. If you don’t know already, the blood business is a big business. Blood Banks sell blood products for a lot of money. These blood banks have tremendous clout with the Gov.
E/o -“So what’s the difference? Who cares whether it’s real or fake?”
Using fake blood will save much more lives. It can be readily available, like in pre-hospital or battlefield settings. Storing it should be much easier than real blood. There is no chance of anyone getting a infectious disease from it, as opposed to real blood. Real blood even though much safer than it used to be, still poses a slight risk. And it would reduce medical costs. That means less medical insurance premiums. And no, I don’t own any stock in these Pharm. companies.
