I'm like 90% of the people on that island in 'Lost'--I don't know my bloodtype!

B+ for me. B+ for my husband. B+ for both our children. I believe that about 9% of the population has B+.

The blood type that is supposed to be the most rare has gotten the most votes.

O+ is the most common. :confused:

AB-

Correct, especially in North America. Asia, if i recall corectly has a higher occourance of A (or was it B) than all other blood types.

Fix the polls, O+ and O- are two differant blood types. I wont vote untill there are differant answers for each letter type +/-
how's that special from all the other +/- ? They're all different.

And only 7% of people are O- so we can take a wild guess...

Because O+ is the universal donor and O- (negative) is the Universal Recipiant. Meaning O- Negative can recieve any blood type but not cannot give it to anyone else. I took some collage level biology in 10th Grade but it's been a long time.

You're exactly backwards. O- is the universal donor. Anyone can receive O- blood.

That's a little too personal rh71. What if someone was going to steal it!?

O- is universal donor. AB+ is universal recipient.
