I guess it has something to do with blood being an organic material. It is no problem creating blood plasma (take 1 liter of distilled water, add 9 grams of salt, and voila, start your infusion). That's what it's made of, but it's not safe because the water surely has some germs in it, which would kill you sometime later. The white and red blood cells, that's the problem, because, as I already said, it is impossible to create organic material.

Actually, I have read in a magazine (somewhere in the 80s or early 90s ) that this white blood substitute had been made available for humans. Never heard of it ever since, though.

Research on doing just that is continuing.

LOL and LOL.
As L-188 said researchers around the world are working on synthetic blood. It probably won't be in the form of a cell, but more in the lines of injectible protein. I'm willing to bet synthetic blood will be around in the next 10-15 years.

You do realize that is far from true, right? We generate organic materials in a wide variety every day. Proteins, amino acids, fake genes. The list goes on forever.
The clinical trials of replacement blood have apparently gone very well, but researchers are understandably cautious.

I think maybe because blood is coded so pricesly that it would take years and years to master. And if its not 100% correct the person may die...Just a guess

The nice thing about synthetic blood is that they could engineer out the antigens that are on your blood cells now that cause the immune response if you get blood that is not your type.
