Then again, I've also found that there is an automatic assumption among others that a blood transfusion is inherently dangerous, and that transfusion alternatives are the "cure-all", even when there are some things that transfusion alternatives are as of yet incapable of treating. There has been much progress, but no-blood solutions aren't a 100% replacement for transfusions... yet.
