What's your blood type?

[SheHateMe]

O Negs are awesome. We basically have the superhero blood type. Everyone can use our life juice.

I have no fucking idea and I've been through plenty of surgeries in my short life already. I hate my life.

So you would love your death? Not yet, young man.

 

[KeithTalent]

O+ The most boring blood type ever.

Actually, AB+ types are the most lucky since they can receive blood from everyone.

Probably hard as hell to get matched for an organ donation, though, should you ever need one.

But I think you can only take non-typed blood once or something. So an AB+ can take O- once, but after that they gotta get AB+.

I heard that somewhere. No idea if it's true or not.

Not true.

Blood group AB individuals have both A and B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their blood plasma does not contain any antibodies against either A or B antigen. Therefore, an individual with type AB blood can receive blood from any group (with AB being preferable), but cannot donate blood to either A or B group. They are known as universal recipients.

AB+
<-- selfish bastard

Why? From a blood typing perspective it's exactly that same...universal recipient. From all of the other requirements, it has no effect.

 

[MustISO]

I have no idea. Probably would be a good thing to know.

 

[zokudu]

A+ I think. Can't remember 100% if I'm + or -. I donate platelets every 2 weeks though.

 

[Chaotic42]

B-

I haven't given in a long time. They used to have drives at work, but we've laid off so many people that I guess it just isn't worth it anymore.

 

[Anarchist420]

Pretty sure that I'm AB, dad's AB-, don't know what my mom is.

 

[IGemini]

O+. Next time I donate will finish gallon #3.

Not true.

Might be thinking of Rh. Generally an Rh- can receive Rh+ once with no difficulty. The second time could cause problems, but usually not as bad as an A or B mismatch.
