SYNTHETIC BLOOD
DOCTOR'S EXPERIMENTS KEEPING ORGANS ALIVE : " NEW YORK, April 25 Dr. Alexis Carrel, of Philadelphia, reported to the American Philosophical Society that he had made 900 successful experiments, and had kept almost every important human and animal organ alive for indefinite periods in a synthetic blood substitute medium. The doctor indicated that his experiments, might open the possibility of raising babies from test tubes; but the results so far indicated that embryos would not grow in a synthetic medium, but required blood. Dr. Carrel, who was born in France, where he received his medical training, came to the United States in 1905, and later joined the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1912 for success in suturing blood vessels and the transplantation of organs. He also won the Nordhoff-Jung cancer prize in 1931.
