[edit] Obtaining blood for drinking purposes from a bank
I know this is a little off-the-wall, perhaps a tad bit crazy, but nevertheless, would there be any opposition to the inclusion of information (yes, sourced) regarding the obtaining of blood from a bank for the purpose of drinking? I believe this is an important and legitimate phenomenon that should be addressed in this article. BloodForLife 00:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'd definitely want to see the sources. Considering how often they put out calls about shortages, it's hard to see the Red Cross selling it to people who don't need transfusions. Fan-1967 00:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know about the Red Cross being involved in this activity, as blood banks are administered by individual hospitals. And of course, hospitals are administered by people, and people can be bought. I'll gather up the sources for the section, but I'm saying this now, I don't want to put in a lot of hard work and have someone completely undo it because they consider it too bizarre. So hopefully if anyone has strong objections they'll show up before I do anything. BloodForLife 01:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- As long as there's verifiable content from reliable sources, I wouldn't think it a problem. We don't delete content because of the eeewwww factor. Fan-1967 01:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
