Reseña del libro "Strange Blood: The Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19Th Century Medicine and Beyond (Medical Humanities) (en Inglés)"
In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible? The book takes the reader on a journey into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, physiological laboratories and 19th century wars. It presents a fascinating story of medical knowledge, ambitions and concerns a story that provides lessons for current debates on the morality of medical experimentation and care.
