I get why the artificial blood thing is really cool and definitely headline worthy, but why is the “compatible with all blood types” headline worthy? Wouldn’t making it incompatible involve developing additional parts to the mix, and thus be harder?

Being universally accepted like O- is one of the biggest selling points of artificial blood
