Don't know how interested I am in synthetic blood,but if it can save lives without adverse events then I'm all for it.

Source

Artificial blood may become a common reality, thanks to the first successful transfusion of lab-grown blood into a human. Luc Douay, of Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris, extracted hematopoietic stem cells from a volunteer's bone marrow, and encouraged these cells to grow into red blood cells with a cocktail of growth factors. Douay's team labeled these cultured cells for tracing, and injected 10 billion of them (equalling 2 milliliters of blood) back into the marrow donor's body.

I see one of two things happening if this turns out to be revolutionary:

1) TPTB will discredit this discovery with everything they have.

2) TPTB will use this discovery to enact the NWO.


I'm leaning towards Option 2 for this one. Other than that, nice find. S&F

Remember nothing created in labs have ever been prof to be completely safe for humans as we humans were never made to go against the natural order of living things.

Everything that man creates to compete with nature turns into crap and poisons whatever it touches.

This is indeed an historic moment my friend. Thanks for sharing this. I can wait till the moment all our organs and parts can be replaced entirely in order to humanity can be aware of the fact that we are not our bodies.

Like glasses were created to improve eyes perfomance in those who have "natural" sight problems?
I humbly want to point out that technology maybe is part of the natural order of living things.

agree KySc5 the only blood that is proven safe will be this stuff all other supplies will be suspect

Not everyone is aloud to give blood, including any man who has had sex with another man since 1977.

I wouldn't mind if synthetic blood was an option for us, but I'd still prefer the natural stuff. Besides the bond we share with our donors is something I don't think many of us would be willing to give up.

Seriously? Why would TPTB care about lab grown blood, and how would they use it to enact the NWO? Please enlighten me.

This is patently false.

There is no such thing as "safe."

Nature has not developed so that we may eat/live with it. We have adapted so that we may survive eating it and/or living in it. It is an ongoing process.

The "natural order" of intelligent, sentient life is to attempt to understand and create. We would not have come to where we are today (for better and/or for worse) were it not for our natural ability to observe, learn, theorize, and manipulate our environment.

To compete with nature?

This would be a rather hidebound view of things.

You say this, however, as though human beings are outside of nature - that our creations are not, of themselves, part of a natural process above and beyond our direct control.

Can the growth of technology be stopped? Once you have taught someone how to make something as useful as steel... can you really control how steel is used and/or how knowledge of it spreads?

Technology - the very concept of it is well beyond our control. We are no more in control of our own growth and development (technologically) than an ocean is in control of its borders. It proceeds in ways we don't expect, times we do not predict, and stalls at times when we expect booms.

So, I'll pretty much say this - this is, perhaps, one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in a long while. For starters - it means fewer issues with blood transfusions. As an indirect - this would mark one of the first times we have successfully 'grown' bodily fluids outside of the body in any reliable fashion - and to any practical means that interface with a human being.

this is a great find for one reason.
we have a blood shortage here in the US and i assume the rest of the world as well.
if we can apply our sciences in a positive manner to benefit mankind, then it gets my vote.
amazing.

First Batch of DARPA's Synthetic Blood Delivered to FDA, Could Be on Battlefields Soon

DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is the powers that be. Secondly, this technology was created for soldiers on the battlefield.


Blood on the Battlefield Trauma wards in combat zones often run short of blood necessary for transfusions. A DARPA program may soon yield vast amounts of synthetic, universally accepted blood that will provide medics with a perpetual supply.


This scientific endeavor will most likely be used in Hospitals across America and the world. How do I know? Because a good chunk of the medical discoveries in our history have come from the battlefield.

@bakedbluedevil; Thank you for bringing this to "our" attention by linking to one of "our" websites. We have no comment at this time on our plans to implement this medical breakthrough as part of our longstanding NWO ties. You'd have to travel down that path with this organization; veritasvosliberabit.com.

I find this disgusting.

Synthetic ANYTHING will never be a good answer when it comes to the human body. It may appear that way but I tell you in the long run its not.

Hope it works. I'm getting tired of giving blood. I'm a universal donor and I get a call about once a month to donate. It is a children's hospital so of course I donate. If this works it would ensure them of a steady supply.

Right, it's far better for people to bleed to death on the operating table due to shortage of donated blood. Luddites

The problem is not the technology or growth, it is that these things are ruled by $$. It turns things in a whole different direction when men are profiting despite what they know about their fertilizers, growing methods, med.s, machines you name it.
