oh good we needed something else to hate! smiles

I'm all for it, because I'm too much of a baby to donate.


I went to donate once, but chickened out an left before I went through with it.

They pitied me and offered me cheese sticks anyway. I ate my cheese stick and hung my head in shame.

You're lucky. United Blood Services hounds me if I go a month without donating. Either they like my blood type, or they're expecting an escalation of chupacabra attacks in New Mexico.

 

[wcbcruzer]

I should get out and donate again.

If Lubrizol is making the "additives," I don't want it!

 

[tom slick]

I read that one company's blood was 7x better!

Yes our junkies only use the top quality junk, just as high only need 1/7 of the dose.

Only if you spend all day in the rocking chair. If your a marathon runner, your okay.

IIRC, medical science has been working on this for years.
It's a temperary measure of course, until a patient can make his/her own, or suitable real blood is available.

How much more will it cost per pint compared to "convential" blood.

 

[Shannow]

dwendt44, it IS real blood, rather than the synthetics that they've been working on for decades.

I can't say that I'm a fan of the process described in the articles.

I wonder if Keith Richards will do a compensated endorsement for one brand of synth blood. He's a pro of unparalleled distinction.

I hear it is not a "true" synthetic and contains 50% highly refined conventional blood, plus of course the carrier blood in the additives!

Hemasol (not sure on spelling) tried making synthetic blood in Canada. Think it got shot down from goverment.

 

[Steve S]

The guys will still change out the blood at non synthetic blood change intervals.

 

[wavinwayne]

Will it resist coagulating in extreme cold?

 

[jldcol]

Vamps now choose it over natural, less fattening especially that stuff from Americans. Yes commercial from Keith, I used to have to sleep it off for a few days and now with "Blud" brand syn, I can do a quick change and get back to the party in no time.

Vamps are noting similar side effects to olestra and are not pleased.
