Assuming that you are in a spacecraft when you are cut, you will still bleed. As long as your heart is beating, the blood pressure created by the heart will force the blood out of the wound. Of course, if enough of the blood comes out, it will behave like water... float around in globules. Now if you are outside of the spacecraft and without a protective space suit, you wouldn't even need to worry about it since you will instantly die since the pressure within your body pushing out will be greater than the air pressure pushing in (there is no air in space and therefore no air pressure) and you will explode before you could even worry about being cut.

SteveIf you were cut in outer space, the wound would not bleed as it would on Earth due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. Instead, the bodily fluids would boil and form bubbles due to the low pressure, causing potential tissue damage. It is crucial to seek medical attention quickly in such a situation.

What would happen if an astronaut's lifeline was cut?
If an astronaut's lifeline was cut, they would become untethered and float away into space. They would likely be unable to navigate back to their spacecraft and could be lost in space. Immediate action would need to be taken by the astronaut and their crew to retrieve them before they drift too far away.
What are some good space jokes?

What would happen if a laser burned your retina?
If a LASER device burned you retina, you would mostly or completely blind in that eye. There would most likely be no way to repair the damage. Keep in mind that LASER beams can cut through steel !
How do you eat waffle in a space station in Mars?
In a space station on Mars, you would likely eat a waffle by floating in microgravity and securing the waffle with a food tray or utensil to prevent it from floating away. You would then use utensils, such as a fork and knife, to cut and eat the waffle while ensuring that crumbs are contained to prevent contamination of the space station environment.
