How does it compare with xenotransfusion from genetically modified pigs?

I guess the extended shelf life and more compatibility might be some of the pros of synthetic blood.

In terms of logistics, you wouldn’t need to raise genetically modified pigs. You could potentially scale production on demand and it doesn’t require the environmental footprint of livestock.
