Synthetic Blood Could Save 30,000 Lives a Year But We Still Can't Use it

I just learned something that is blowing my mind. Apparently, about 30,000 preventable deaths happen every year because people don't get blood in time! It's because human blood is so hard to store and there just isn't enough of it. But there might be a solution on the way. There's a new kind of synthetic blood being developed called ErythroMer. The most amazing thing is that it can be freeze-dried and used instantly. It's also universal, so it would work for everyone. They've been testing it on rabbits by draining half their blood, and when they replace it with this synthetic cocktail, the rabbits are hopping around and acting normal in minutes. It looks almost miraculous. It makes me wonder why something like this hasn't been done sooner... #Science #MedicalInnovation #SyntheticBlood #Health #Blood
