Would it be manufacture a blood that carries no disease and could be used by anyone regardless of blood type ?

'O' neg

Answer 2

They have been trying to make something like this for at least 50 years.

So far it's just been failures.

Answer 3

the problem is you would also need to find a synthetic form of hemoglobin that could transport oxygen... and once it can bind oxygen from the air that means diseases can get in. Plus it's not just blood that carries diseases it is also our lymph... so you would have to replace that too.

Answer 4

An enzyme has been discovered that can sever the antigens from the blood cells, making them behave like type O blood. Disease, however, can still be a problem.

Answer 5

no i dont believe you can, possibly if you havent defined the blood type (eg A-) or if enzymes can cancel out the blood type

hope that helps
