Artificial Blood- a big step in saving lives

[Guest Nicole]

Substitute of Biological Blood:

These are substances which act like biological blood and are used in cases requiring a blood transfusion.

Purpose:

The main purpose served by blood is oxygen carriage to organs of the body. The artificial blood synthesized so far are serving functions varying from carrying oxygen to the function of volume expansion. Thus, volume restoration can be done with the help of these substances. These substitutes are mostly under clinical trials.

History:

Blood was considered supernatural having magical properties.  Many of the rituals were performed related to blood.

Many beliefs are still followed. Several TV programs focused on the theme of blood like the vampires drinking human blood for survival. Jehovah’s witnesses are obligated to not receive or donate any blood-related products according to their beliefs even in case of matter of life and death.

The history of blood transfusion dates back to very old civilization but documented research on this topic started after William Harvey discovered in the 16th century that blood flows in the arteries and veins. The blood transfusion often proved fatal. So different transfusions were tried like liquids from cows, goats, human milk as well as beer.

The first cross-matched blood transfusion was done in the 20th century in Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. Later advancements led to the Blood Component Therapy in which blood was separated into different components, which has made whole blood transfusion obsolete.

Progress in the field led to improvements in the safety of blood transfusion with respect to decreasing transmission of blood-borne diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and C etc.

Who needs it?

Artificial blood is used in cases which require a blood transfusion.

The situations include;

• Patients of hemorrhagic shock: a state of decreased perfusion of organs due to the increased amount of bleeding.
• In case of emergency situations like roadside accidents
• In situations when blood donation is not accessible or not available such as remote or far-flung areas
• To meet the high demand for blood transfusion

Types of Synthetic blood:

• Perfluorocarbon-based
• Hemoglobin-based
• Stem cells

This article is deception by omission.

Currently, HEMOPURE (tm) is an artificial HUMAN blood substitute, but it is made from Cow's blood.

It is highly filtered cows blood ... but it is still cow's blood.

IT'S COW'S BLOOD,  FOLKS!

Of course, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, due to pressure from lawsuits from every direction, has changed their theology per the advice of their lawyers and accountants, who now decide and guard the doctrines of the religion, so that  human blood CAN be transfused, if it is fractional parts.

..... and COW'S blood if it is labeled "Artificial Human Blood".

The scripture says "abstain from blood" ... but due to economic considerations, that clear command has been bent into a pretzel. 

It USED to be about obeying God ... NOW it's all about MONEY.

I drew a little cartoon to illustrate:
