Article on experimental project to develop totally artificial blood substitute; Dr R P Geyer (Harvard School of Public Health), who heads project, has succeeded after 5 yrs of testing different mixtures in removing all traces of blood of a rat, replacing it with substitute and having animal survive long enough on solution for natural blood to regenerate and take over again in about 7 days; 35 rats have survived treatment, apparently retaining normal behavior, breathing, eating, excretion and response to light, pain and sound; Geyer, who is reluctant to discuss practical implications of work in detail because of its experimental nature, stresses that use in humans remains distant objective; no such tests are planned; J A Hartford Foundation has invested more than $500,000 in project since '68 and recently awarded Geyer $122,000 more for next 2 yrs; chief constituent of substitute blood was drawn from group of semiorganic compounds called fluorocarbons; fluorocarbons take place of red blood cells and polyols, used to emulsify liquids into small particles, take role of protein in blood plasma; Geyer hopes to determine if rats can survive indefinitely without hemoglobin, normal gas-carrying agent in red blood cells, by destroying bone marrow, site of red cell production; says totally artificial blood system could be useful in studying immunological responses in animals, behavior of chemotherapeutic agents and rate at which blood components regenerate; cites long-term effects of fluorocarbons on human, which are unknown, as major obstacle to human use; illus
