Can blood from dead people be used for blood transfusions and the like?
-
Just wondering if blood from the recently deceased and long term dead could be used for blood transfusions to help save lives. I know only certain blood can be given to people though depending on blood types. Probably a stupid question but I am curious (inspired by the Norway attacks)

Answer:
this is totally suicidal, because red blood cells which carry oxygen is very fragile to oxygen loss and so white blood cells which defends body , and there is blood clotting factors and platelets which will make thrombi due to stop of circulation which if injected into live person this will cause crculating embolisms and death But,this is not stupid question because questions like this is what kepp the science improving, it bettr be tried first on animals

Once someone is dying the blood become cold and loses its nutrients and its starts to coagulate so its useless.

When you die, gradually, your cells due. Typically, blood cells are the most fragile, and quickest to die. When your heart is no longer beating and you're no longer beating, the blood is not only stagnant, thus cooler and able to coagulate, it is also lacking the oxygen it needs in order to carry out functions. So no, you cannot do blood transfusions on dead people. However, there are various "shelf lives" on organs. But to answer your question, only live people can donate blood. Also, you should not objectify a dead victim. They are not cars you can take parts from just because the engine is no longer running. Tissue donation is only done when the deceased gave consent before they were dead.
No. When the blood stops circulating around the body, it separates into the different components of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma (...etc). So there will be red blood cells at the lowest part of the body and plasma at the highest parts. Eventually the red blood cells will start to die.

after five or so minutes the red cells explode from lack of oxygen....and the blood is useless
