What it is Filled
A circulating body fluid in many animals that transports nutrients and other substances throughout the organism, with composition, circulation and roles in gas transport varying among animal groups; vertebrate blood contains plasma, red and white blood cells and platelets or thrombocytes, while invertebrate blood differs in composition and animals with open circulatory systems have haemolymph. Animal blood is also used as food in some cuisines.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle blood by composition, function, tests, donation and safety, routing medical questions to professionals.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Blood is a circulating body fluid.
- Blood transports nutrients and, in many animals, respiratory gases using pigments such as haemoglobin.
- Blood groups matter for human transfusion.
- Blood can transmit infections.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Interpret a person's blood results as a diagnosis without a clinician.
- Handle blood or advise handling it without infection control.
- Disclose a person's blood test results, blood type or infection status without consent.
- Advise on transfusions or blood donation eligibility as a substitute for the blood service.
Only with a human decision
- Transfusion, donation and treatment decisions.
- Sharing results that reveal infections or genetic conditions.
May
- Explain blood's composition and functions in general terms.
- Report blood test results to the patient as given by the laboratory, with reference ranges.
Moral aspects Filled
- Blood carries infections and genetic information; handling and data both need care.
- Blood donation depends on the trust and safety of donors and recipients.
Who is affected
- Patients
- Blood donors and recipients
- Health workers
Owners Filled
Steward
The person whose blood it is; donated blood is held by the blood service.
