Artificial Blood Experiment: Is Your City Participating?

Hospitals in Twenty Cities Take Part in Polyheme Trials

The most telling part of this article is midway down: "Below is a list of the cities and hospitals that are currently participating in the Polyheme trials. Check the list to see if you live an area where you could become a trial participant without your informed consent." (Emphasis added)

I wonder if participants come out of the trial with a strange need to repeat the statement: 'This is who we are'? Then they find out another party has thrown a few nanobots in the mix and then they start wanting to say: 'This is who we are. We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!'

Interesting... Fluosol has been used for a number of years fairly sucessfully; they have even completely replaced a rat's blood with the substitute and it has worked well. It will be interesting to see how this new one works.

Due to my personal religious beliefs I do not accept blood transfusions. Interestingly it has become increasingly evident in almost all current medical research that whole blood transfusion is becoming more and more dangerous and causes MANY side unwanted side effects. Nowadays a LOT of people for medical reasons are refusing blood transfusions and they are begining to be viewed as the most risky form of treatment when only about 10 - 14 years ago it was automatically done routinely in almost every case. Even parents sometimes were forced by court order to have blood transfusions forced upon their children, with the result usually being in poorer health, numerous future complications, or death for the children. Due to the large number of bad consequences from this and resulting law suits, and a better current understanding of 'Patient's Rights', this is rarely done now.

Usually in almost all cases a volume expander is sufficient which enables the diminished blood supply to circulate more freely, prevent shock, and allow the body to produce more hemoglobin, etc. Ringer's Lactate and simple Saline Solutions usually work very well. There is a HUGE proliferation of Bloodless Institutes emerging everywhere as doctors learn to operate more accurately and more carefully and with technologically advanced tools (laser scalpels for example which cauterize the incision immediately, greatly reducing the amount of blood loss - also recirculating machines that vacuum the blood lost in surgery, clean it, and recirclate it back into the person during the procedure)
