Sorry, my previous post was unclear.
The personal benefits of phlebotomy, relative to life extension are
well known
Suppose there was a jurisdiction that was so incompetently run that a
particular large subgroup was prohibited from blood donation due to a
"bad" immunilogical profile. And suppose that one individual in that
subgroup who was a doctor and was able to change his immunilogical
profile in an ethical manner. Yet, the incompetent and criminal
government of which he was subject would not reconsider his plight.
The global population is now 6.5 billions so that doctor's plight
might be multiplied by a factor of one million. There might be one
million doctor's globally who found themselves in an analogous
situation. The bible says sarcastically, "physician heal thyself". It
is not so easily done, there is bias against doctors. Such injustice
might result in what might be at present an unknown or "secret" level
of international traffic in CONTRABAND blood and blood products. In
the future this might not be such an underground phenomenon but could
become an embarrassment for world governance. What do you think? Is
this a plot line for a new Tom Clancy novel?
