In health class today, we were watching a movie about how the AIDS virus was discovered (Can't remember what it's called.) and I was thinking: if people with AIDS are losing white blood cells to the virus and people with leukemia are developing too many white blood cells in their bone marrow, then wouldn't giving AIDS patients blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants from leukemia patients help them fight the disease?

Hmm.. I dunno. Im sure they mustve thought of that before. I mean, if you got the idea in class, then youd hope theyd get the idea!! Wouldnt it be nice though if it were that easy?

I beleive people with Leukemia produce too many white blood cells...but they are also usually deformed, so I don't think that would really solve the problem...
