       | Just a couple of days ago I read a short-short SF story titled
       | "Argent Blood", by Joe L. Hensley.

       | lunatic asylum whose patients won't be missed - the protagonist,
       | and feeding target, poisons his own blood with silver chloride).

       | Confusing title. The article is about blood types.
       | 
       | "Golden blood" is blood which is effectively neither Rh positive
       | nor Rh negative, as its missing some antigens which both Rh- and
       | Rh+ have. It's not such a good thing to have, apparently, since
       | it also comes with structural features which may result in
       | anemia. See also:
