If red blood cells in your body did not function properly it would eventually cause your death because as you know red blood cells carry haemoglobin ( which is oxygen ) , these red blood cells carry haemoglobin around your body and to your heart so if your heart no longer gets oxygen your heart will stop functioning and you will die .

What is aplastic anemia?
Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells. The term 'aplastic' means the marrow suffers from an aplasia that renders it unable to function properly. Anemia is the condition of having fewer red blood cells than normal, or fewer than needed to function properly. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. copied from wikipedia

Why is a bone marrow transplant used as a treatment for leukemia?
Leukemia can be a bone marrow or blood cancer. Bone marrow makes white blood cells, and if it did not function properly, it would cause the red blood cells to increase, decrease, or not function. Replacing bone marrow means that the new marrow would take over the job of making red blood cells and fix the problem.
