Post to the Arizona board...
I thought it was possible to strip out the Rh factors, and therefore only major type was relevant.
Well i used to be a regular blood donor in Australia, i am AB RH(D) Positive, but they stopped me after the Mad Cow episode in the Uk coz i ate some beef, and i now live in Samoa where there are only about 20 people with the same blood group, a fellow fell ill and they asked me to donate, so i went to the hospital and was rejetced coz i am now diabetic, something about antibodies. Poor fellow died.
It’s pretty much all over ... Central Florida was panicking bringing in what they could find from all over the country last week...
The problem is that to ensure a monopoly the blood banks wanted blood classified as an “organ” ,,, making the sale of such illegal... that’s why you can sell components (plasma) but not whole blood. The answer is simple ,, let people sell blood legally.
