Bleeding to Death?

[Maderic84]

If you were to slash your wrist on purpose or by accident, if you immediately covered it with your mouth and drank the blood would you still bleed to death?

[4getmenot]

Er yer I'd say so. You're still losing the blood it isnt going back into your bloodstream just because you swallow it.

[Loosehead]

yes

[spaced]

[helsbels666]

[OBonio]

Dont Try This At Home!!!!!!!!

Interesting threory Maderic. Can you imagine drinking 4+ pints of blood? Only dracula would enjoy that death scene.

[dancealot13]

Just because you drink the blood doesn't mean it will go into your bloodstream. Almost all the blood will be destroyed by your stomach acid.

[loulou80]

if you cut your wrists on purpose you deserve to bleed to death!

[buffyuk]

You certainly would, you'd also vomit after about 500mls as the body cant digest blood. strange question

[Lonnie]

As an aside, if you cut your wrists, its very likely that you wouldn't bleed to death, in fact, yes, you would bleed, but hardly at all.

That is one of the funniest questions on here for a while :)

Thanks Maderic84

[rugeleyboy]

i find this question very light hearted in a chicken and egg kind of way? is this how it is meant maderic84 or are you an emotionaly unstable kind of person?

[Jennykins]

Yes you would die... For one thing... You would lose blood FASTER than you can reabsorb it back into your system... You may be drinking the blood BUT, it will just go to your stomach.. were you will most likely puke it up because its not natural to drink blood like that... or to drink any at all... I hope you dont plan on doing this ... It is a stupid idea and is medically and morally wrong.
