If you’re at the hospital and you get pumped full of blood, how come it doesn’t change your genetics? Is blood unrelated to that sort of thing and I’m just stupid?
In: Biology
New blood cells are made in your bone marrow. When you receive a blood transfusion, those blood cells will never split or reproduce — they’re going to live for a while (about 120 days), happily transporting oxygen for you, and then they’re going to die. Your kidneys will filter the dead cells out of your bloodstream, and you’ll pee them out.
