Borrowed Blood

di William Liu (Autore)

William Liu, 2026

The blood in every hospital comes from a generation that is aging out of giving it. In July 2026 the American Red Cross declared only the second national blood crisis in its history. Most people blamed the heat. Borrowed Blood shows why the real cause runs far deeper: a supply chain with no factory and no warehouse, built on unpaid volunteers from one large generation, now moving from the donor chair into the hospital bed. From the United States to Japan, South Korea, Germany and Britain, donor rolls are shrinking and graying while older patients need more transfusions for surgery, cancer and chronic illness. This book follows the numbers and the people behind them: the blood centers that run on thin margins, the countries that have tried to reverse the decline, the hospitals learning to spend less blood, and the researchers working on matched blood and alternatives. Written for general readers, policy followers, healthcare workers and anyone who has ever rolled up a sleeve, Borrowed Blood explains what is happening to the supply that keeps patients alive and what can still be done about it.
