What if blood was blue instead of red? Could we still live normal human lives?

It is blue until the oxygen hits it:)

it is NOT red, till it hits oxygen
Horse shoe crabs have Blue blood ( copper based)

@HoraceGreenley Yeah they are, without lives damn near everything. But now that an artificial chemicals, can you take the place of their blood for the medical needs? They will now be in serious danger over harvest for nothing more than crab bait.

@Amylynne I understand octopodes also have, copper based, blue blood.
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@Sharon I did not know this! Now I have to look it up

Blood is blue, until it is oxygenated.

@SW-User Really? I made it up for this question. Lol :)

@BijouPleasurette Actually, that's just a myth.

@BijouPleasurette no … it’s dark red … it’s just blue in diagrams to differentiate venal (deoxygenated) blood and arterial (oxygenated) blood.

@Amylynne I thought the smoking jacket, ascot and cirgarette holder made for a nice ensemble.

@HoraceGreenley It would make a good profile pic, and maybe people might stop teasing you about Gilligan

@Amylynne
I chose Gilligan because he's non-threatening.

Now I can't change because my fans would kill me 😉

I've watched enough period pad adverts on tv to know that menstrual blood is blue! 😜

Blue would come to mean what red means during an FBI personality test
BijouPleasurette · 36-40, F
@pride49 That was all I wanted to know. Thanks.
pride49 · 31-35, M
@BijouPleasurette I mean technically our blood IS blue btw. It reacts with the oxygen in the air and turns red you know.
BijouPleasurette · 36-40, F
@pride49 So others have said on here already.

Well i have green blood. It's an interesting conjecture to consider human's with blue blood...

@Sharon Thank you.🌹

@Nitedoc No problem I did admit you were right that (iron based) blood is always red, whether or not it's oxygenated.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@Sharon Okay, no problem.
