All this blood bank and hospital stuff is really depressing, and I was thinking, is there like... idk a way to set up our own blood drive? Not here, obviously, but like, in District X, specifically for mutants (yes Quentin you can stand at the entrance like a bouncer and say "sorry no flatscans". Maybe try to be nice though?). Schools set up blood drives all the time, we donated at Berkley like nine times, and I know that was run through Red Cross or something. So theoretically we could get a hospital or somewhere around here to do one too, right?

Just a thought, I mean. There has to be something we can do, even it's just a rinky dink thing in District X.

No need to be so crass, Summers.

This would be a good idea. But what would we do with the blood donated?

Well, we could sell it. Mutie blood is worth it's weight in gold and its not safe to use on the flatscans.

There is a clinic in District X. Might want to check there first. They might not have the means to store blood that had been donated - but I am sure there is people here that wouldn't mind donating to the cause.

I'm reasonably certain you can't just collect blood samples and give them to a hospital for clinical use. It's not like a canned food or clothing drive. You need trained, certified professionals involved in the collection, storage, and shipment of any biospecimen.

The American Red Cross, for all their ineffectiveness combating the FDA's regressiveness, has a helpful guide: https://www.redcrossblood.org/hosting-a-blood-drive/learn-about-hosting/how-hosting-a-blood-drive-works.html Find a clinic that does accept mutant blood and get in touch with them.

Hmm, the Claremont might be interested. How about see if I can find someone who will be able to tell you more? I do know that in the ER we sometimes have to use blood that is slightly different on mutants, so this might actually help them as well.

Also that. That scene in mad max where max sticks the catheter in furiosa and starts bleeding in it is not how this works.

Just don't.

You never know, though.

Bro. That was reckless.

Some mutant blood is toxic regardless.

Sometimes, though, the primary or secondary mutation changes how the blood... Bloods. Creates new subtypes or whatever. You think that you managed to get an energy projection mutation without a single systemic change? Who knows what kind of problems you created.

Sad to say it but I think the flatscans were right.

1) I am very glad to hear that you're willing to bet people's lives on that.

2) not everything ends up on the internet, especially re mutants.

We - mutants - haven't been out that long. Most of the research about shit like this? The Soviets were doing it. Australian public health programs. Shady companies looking for things that affect x force. The Genoshans.

This is the stuff that never ended up on the internet. The Soviets never let those people leave the gulags. Genoshans don't talk. The companies buy silence. Etc.

As long as you're OK rejecting the healing factors and chaos manipulators and so on... Sure. Just do the due diligence.
