Does it Come in Colors?
If you ever wanted as a kid to be Gumbi, here's your chance.
Scientists have developed an artificial plastic blood which could act as a substitute in emergencies.
Researchers at Sheffield University said their creation could be a huge advantage in war zones.
They say that the artificial blood is light to carry, does not need to be kept cool and can be kept for longer.
The new blood is made up of plastic molecules that have an iron atom at their core, like haemoglobin, that can carry oxygen through the body.

Yet another reason to be less dependent on foreign oil. (At least I'm assuming those plastic molecules are made from oil like so many other plastics.)
Of course some liberal would then see fit to regulate our use of blood on any scale. You're just going to have to get along on four quarts instead of the usual five.
I think I'll pass.
Nothing about this, sounds like it would be good for you.
I guess as oxygen delivery systems go, it beats a bicycle pump.
