JWD,
Yes, I heard on the news today about those school children....it's really terrible. I truly feel for those little ones, and their parents.
The borg. seem to be giving witnesses over here the feeling that they are making great progress with bloodless surgery, some friends of ours went to a HLC meeting....they came back buzzzing about how the society is spear-heading the progress in bloodless surgery, using synthetics I think. Our friends were 'over the moon' with whatever they told them, I don't think that they'd even considered the fractions issue.
If you have children, it is so important to know the FULL issue with blood the R&F certainly DO NOT. NMHO
