Science tells us blood drinking is a big no-no, whilst literature provides a vision of immortality. A vampire does this to survive - though first, he must die [in order to become one]. Despite the myth, how can we be sure that drinking blood is such a bad thing? Perhaps all the signs of not doing it, is a step to finding that perhaps it COULD be done...

Best to stick to doing it the catholic way - with wine that's been blessed by the priest.

I know of no evidence that drinking blood provided a significant increase in lifespan, let alone eternal. Nor does the idea pass any sort of plausibility or sanity test. However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and if any such may be found, it would be interesting to know.

no one drank Jesus' blood. What actually got here about, peo- ple used symbolic gestures back then. The ingesting of Christ's blood grow to be a cup of wine or grape juice that He reported represented His blood and He did the same area of a loaf of bread after He broke it into products and reported re- presented his pores and skin. yet no one had any cannibalistic thoughts.

People have done it, cults have done it and people still do it. It's good to think about things in different ways such as a key to immortality but this has already proven not to work.

it is almost impossible to drink blood and have a eternal life span, this is because your organ in your body will get old and drinking other people's blood can cause all kinds of diseases and health problems so it is true that you'll die ealier than you are suppose to live. and there had been no scientific proof that drinking blood can make you live longer or give you eternal life.

You could get all kinds of diseases by drinking blood; that by itself should tell you it's not the key to eternal life!

Drinking human blood will make you sick. The stomach is designed to induce nausea when blood content gets too high because this is a sign of serious internal damage.

Well, some people really do drink blood, and I'm pretty sure that they die just like everyone else.

Totally agree with HotSilverWater's answer
There's a good way to test this - you can eat used tampons for the rest of your life and report back when you don't die
It'll be good for the environment too
P.S. The Matrix is NOT real, and just cause you wear black trench coats, doesn't make you cool - stop colouring your hair black

Blood tastes nasty. Plus it makes you sick if you drink too much of it--according to Fight Club, you can swallow up to a pint of blood before you get sick. So if eternal life requires me to drink blood, then I'll just take mortality, thank you very much.
