| Subject: | Giving blood in 205X: common or rare? |
| Date: | Wed, 20 May 1998 18:24:17 +1200 |
the public good (and it didn't hurt a bit!), I was paging through Aztlan
and met the Blood Magic section, which got me thinking.
In our modern world, giving blood is no big deal; as long as there's no
risk of infection or you're not a haemophiliac, it's not a danger. In
Shadowrun, though, a blood sample can be used for ritual sendings, blood
magic, and lots of other creative nastiness. Given this, would people
would actually give blood (whether to a corporate or public
health-provider)? What would it say about those people? What sort of
psychological/sociological issues would this produce - e.g., would it
become a litmus test, like abortion/affirmative action/gun-control?
<*Not* trying to start controversy on the last three issues, but still
curious...>
