Blood now a days dont always have the time to be fully screened, and many more ppl are getting viruses thru blood. Am curious to know that if people were sick if the would take blood from a blood bank, or get artificial blood?

In my country, commercial blood banks are banned and now, only authorized hospitals have blood bank.A central unit which is a clearing house controls availability of blood and those who needs it must connect with the medical technoogists in their hospital laboratories to get the proper blood for them.The blood before being transfused is properly typed and crossmatched--screened for typing, and for diseases thus, we are sure that the blood in our haspital in the philippines is clean

Still think I would have real blood over artificial blood. In the UK there are very few stories about problems from donated blood so again would happily take donated blood if my life depended on it.
