Hey so what happens to unused blood bank blood? Like the red blood cell stuff not the other stuff
I heard it has a life of about a month or so, so I assume it either goes to further research or it’s destroyed
If yiu could process blood otherwise intended for destruction, at the scales at which blood is donated in the us, I’d have thought it would be reasonably doable
Incinerated or used for medical/scientific experiments, but it seems that’s a small percentage of the blood since they are doing their best to JIT the production chain.
