Chris, this yucky compound is simply a ten carbon ring with some fluorine molecules attached to it .It has no relaton to mammalian blood. It has been shown to be safe on humans in minimal testing to date. However, your reaction is significant because it underscores the public's aversion to transfusion of blood or blood-related products(hemoglobin based, that is ). That is why pfc's such as pher02 are so important , and potentially lucrative....You are one of millions of people who feel as you do......thanksfor posting....good night...

Your missing one HUGE point. Many people do not have a choice.

I think I have a bigger problem with AIDS or hemophilia then I do with some synthetic blood....

Plus needing blood is a little different than needing a snack(or aspirin or penicillin for that matter....)

I agree with you though, alot of people have a problem with synthetic stuff and their bodies(but they still drink Diet Coke....)

IMO, Biotech is going to go through the same problem with general public acceptance that computers did 15 years ago...

Wasn't IBM who thought nobody would ever want a PC on their desk?...somebody said that...
