British scientists set to create synthetic human blood in world first
British scientists are set to become the first in the world to create synthetic human blood from embryonic stem cells, it emerged today.

The results of the ground-breaking project could provide an unlimited supply of blood for emergency transfusions free of the risk of infection.

Researchers said because stem cells multiply indefinitely, it means it would be possible to produce as much blood as was needed.

SNBTS director Professor Marc Turner has been involved in studies investigating how to ensure donated blood is free of the infectious agent behind variant CJD, the human form of 'mad cow' disease, the report said.

Several vCJD patients are thought to have contracted the disease by blood transfusions.

This is good news. It's not the first thing I heard. They are also making muscles, they made a ribosome, they will be able to make any body part for you (flesh/blood like the real thing).

I think it's a good thing, but I know some people are going to be amazed and shocked by this new technology. They will get scared and come up with a reason to bash the ideas and make it a big deal.

Grow up, people. You rather have somebody just die, not me, let these scientist do what they have to do to help humanity.

Scientists aren't at all concerned with saving humanity. Jesus Christ already saw to that. Scientists are only interested in money and power and glory. Science is a boondoggle. Science will ultimately destroy humanity. This is just another step on the road to that destruction.
That does not compute.
