[UA] Today's Mythic Experience

[Epoch]

So, interestingly, giving blood is probably going to fast go the way of
the dodo.  There are apparantly a couple of artificial blood substitutes
that are in early clinical trials now.  If things go as expected, they'll
be approved for human use in five years or so, and, at that point, they'll
be able to make artificial blood with no type (perfectly possible for
anyone to take, without even the risk of taking type O neg or matched
blood), and a shelf life of several years at room temperature, and other
cool things.

So, the question is, if giving blood is a mystically significant process,
what lengths will you go to to stop artificial blood from hitting the
market?
