Corrected entry: *Spoilers* - Shortly after Kirk is killed by the radiation in the warp core, Dr. McCoy realizes that Kirk's cells can be regenerated by Kahn's blood. McCoy desperately tries to signal Spock to tell him not to kill Kahn because they need his blood to save Kirk. Apparently McCoy totally forget that they have 72 other genetically-enhanced members of Kahn's crew on board the Enterprise to harvest blood from. He even removes one of Kahn's crew from their cryo-stasis chamber so that he can use it to keep Kirk's brain cells viable; he actually had a genetically-enhanced man right there on a bed in sickbay to harvest blood from.

Correction: Khan's crew were frozen in cryo sleep for years. Removing them from cryo sleep willy nilly like that would most likely cause them to die. McCoy even states this shortly after the discovery of Khan's crew. Blood from a living member of Khan's crew stands a better chance to save Kirk's life and frankly the time it would take to unfreeze and revive a crew member would be extensive and time that they simply don't have.
