Synthetic blood

[geonagual]

My ex in laws are Jehovah Witness
Most people in the medical community that J.W's will not recieve blood even in a life or death situation..they always talk about synthetic blood becoming more prevalant with surgeries..even open heart surgery..have you ever heard of this blood? and is it as good as regular blood?

Yes, there are products being developed, but the consensus from the various sites I visited is that synthetic blood isn't yet advanced enough to use widely in medicine.

I know they can have they're own blood recycled, that's meant to be allowed. A woman over here recently died after giving birth coz she "couldnt" have a blood transplant - so now the husband is suing the hospital or something along those lines.

I guess that's what happens when you beleive utter shit like that though - people die painfully.
