Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes. In many ways, human emotions are the gifts of our animal ancestors.

This sort of question can also be raised without benefit of hypothetical examples from future genetic engineering. Suppose further that such blood is obtained without killing the animal and without causing the animal pain.
