And I thought I was a really bad procrastinator.
Didn't Dr. Mengele use the same argument?
I have no idea. Do you have any references? I'm not aware of Mengele doing any work in the service of medicine, just murdering innocent people by vivesection, injecting with toxic chemicals, etc.
In this test they already have results that there's a good probability patients will benefit and that lives will be saved. God forbid, but if you were unconscious and bleeding to death, wouldn't you want them to try it on you if there wasn't blood available?
If you were unconscious and got to the hospital fast enough, you would be transfused with O negative blood, the universal donor, without your consent if they had to emergently transfuse blood, even though there's still a small chance of a transfusion reaction, IIRC. I think it takes about 45 - 60 minutes to type and cross-match blood before a person can be transfused with blood that matches that person's blood type.
But, what would happen to you if you have O neg. and you had already had ONE emergency transfusion of a cross type.
Hopefully, this experiment will work out for the good in saving lives.
