Why RBC? Is it an easier cell to make or is the demand that high that justifies it?
Does these RBC have blood type? Can they be tailored to fit all blood type?
How important is this bioreactor in the process, as if without it it is impossible to make RBC? Solve one issue of many in the creation process? Lower the cost for "mass manufacturing"?
After this is done, what would be the cost of making one "serving of blood" (sorry I dont know what would be a better word) needed in a hospital setting?
