In real life, we do just this when we place patients on cardio-pulmonary
bypass, or when we dialyze renal patients.

Problem is that currently we must anti-coagulate either the patient, or
just the blood flowing thru the device in question.  

If we anticoagulate the patient/diver, we then have to worry about
bleeding in places where it is not nice to bleed (ie, in joints, in
the brain, etc.)

The other option is viable, but very complex, and still prone to 
problems with maintaining the patient's coagulation status.
