Wouldn't they swim in random directions? But the idea is very cool. Wait,
doesn't blood also do some work with temperature stabilization, which would
require flow?

You might be able to attach a redundant heart, I don't know, in your leg?

Could you replace the plasma with some kind of oxygenated gel like we see in
The Abyss? Idk if that stuff is actually real :-)
