But how likely is it that the hospital would actually do the ritual? It
would serve them no purpose (unless they're up to something :). I could see
a corp perhaps doing it, on some of the higher ups in the corporate world to
prevent defections (One more thing for the runners to extract). A hospital
wouldn't, and so the blood would be useless as anything but blood
replacement. IMHO of course :)
