Universal blood

Universal blood is a melting pot of bloods compatible between several people. This concept was created by André Gernez in 1986 and is promoted through Organic Union International. Universal blood can be created by immune adoption during the three first months after birth.[1] Universal blood helps organism to resist allergies and make organ transplant possible. Experienced on rabbits, Gernez recommends to use a spray on toddlers. Volunteers for a strongest human specie depend on parents, corporations and institutions.

Researchers have found a way to efficiently convert different human blood types into a neutral type that can be given to any patient.[2] Scientists have used embryonic stem cells to generate blood that could lead to endless supplies of type O-negative blood.[3]

Immunocamouflage technique

Immunocamouflage is a technique, which allows to hide blood cells from antibodies produced by immune system, by encasing individual red blood cells in polymeric coatings.[4] This would eliminate the need for costly blood typing before transfusions.[5]
