But instead of letting her blood circulate through cellophane tubing in a chemical bath, and relying on the solution to remove the poisons, they wheeled a donor into the treatment room. The donor: a 130-lb. ewe, heavily draped to conceal its identity. From a neck artery and vein the doctors hooked up the ewe to another cellophane tube.
