We might not live long enough to find out.If we don't suffer ill effects from stabbing guys with our blood then reabsorbing that, I hardly think age will do anything either.We might have reduced our life expectancy 15 years.

Medicine!
1. Area 51 is publicly-known. That it's holding something having to do with aliens is also widely known, although perhaps not true. The latter bit is what I was referring to.The same way everyone knows about Area 51 and a bunch of people have heard of the SCP Foundation?*pursing my lips* Area 51 is a top secret facility, not a top secret base. The things inside are secret, not the location or existence. SCP is fictitious.

The difference is that, as noted several posts ago, China at this time is violently opposed to Westernization. That scenario requires them to willingly become Westernized.you personally don't have adopt western culture but the people will, it happens without asking. They'll begin dressing in western styles, adopting western mannerisms, the people would adopt western culture or atleast certain aspects of it. Likely you will remain uniquely Chinese but much different than before after being blended with the west. A great example of this is modern day Japan in that while, retaining a unique flavor to their culture, an average American would not feel as if he were in a totally alien land.Perhaps some extent, but that doesn't mean I need to adopt Western culture. Changes? Probable. Western Xerox? Improbable.I'm not planning to Westernize China, don't be ridiculous. Was the shipping industry stoverized when it incorporated steamships? No! Just take a few concepts, make them Chinese, and use them to make China all the greater.A noble effort but with a few snags. This isn't the equivalent of introducing a new piece of equipment to an industry, this is Is introducing a whole new way of life which is intrinsically and necessarily opposed to every value and philosophy towards life the chinese hold dear. It's hard to imagine simply taking the benefits of western technology without the societal change and revolution the must come along with it.
How 'bout we don't ask him to buy our blood. The stuff doesn't sell very well, you see.Hey, this is a good-quality knife. It's just a little reddish. Don't worry about it.
