Blood Type

[MissMisa]

Most people in England are O Positive. The rarest is AB Negative.

It's like this I think in England in terms of how common:

O Positive
A Positive
AB Positive
A Negative and O Negative
AB Negative

From what I remember.

I am O Negative which 7% of the population have in England. It is a weird blood type for reasons I forget.

Except... It isn`t new. And you can`t really lie about it as companies require your health information as health insurance for employees is a state provided thing for which you file through your company.

AB dominant AB/O+ mosaic - very very rare so I`m all super special! Married to a regular AB+. Whose parents were A and B... I have no clue what my parents were. I only found my bloodtype when I got pregnant and had to have a crapload of tests to confirm it. *sigh*
Our son is B. I was really hoping he would be AB too, but we didn`t get so lucky. Oh well...

I can`t say I believe any of the bloodtype stuff - it`s not any different than astrology. But enough people believe it (along with astrology) that it is cool to be an AB scorpio if only for the reactions. I mean, check through any manga - chances are 9 out of 10 that the cold and cruel character is an AB scorpio.

C'mon man, the idea is absolutely ridiclous. Anyone with half a brain should realise that. The whole "theory" of linking personality and strengh to blood types comes from Nazi idelogoy, which, forever reason Japan borrowed. It's incredibly stupid.

It goes farther back than the Nazi delusions, but I agree that it has very little physical evidence to support it.

And yet, I am almost the stereotype for my blood type. Someone I have been seeing lately guess it without hesitation.

Unless things have changed since my college days that order of prevalence holds true for most of the Western world.

O Negative, while rare, is not weird. In fact most blood banks recruit donors for it almost as much as for O postive. In a crisis, when there is no matching donor, O is the universal substitute for all blood types, but the negative/postive HAS to match. Its not entirely fool proof, but the odds are better than risking someone bleeding out.

You are very special! The "O" blood type has no "A" or "B" identifier tags, so you can donate your blood to any of the other major blood types. Additionally, since your RH factor is Negative, your blood is even more ideal for donation. Facilities would prioritize it for pregnant women.

Years ago when my dad used to sell his blood to the blood bank, they paid more for O- than for any other type.

Unfortunately, because you are an O Negative, your body will reject a donation from any other type.

Incidentially, I'm an A neg.

Edit: Nevermind, Taln beat me to it.
