Blood type?

Not a clue, should perhaps find that out though shouldn't I?
 
I don't know for sure - never had that test. But mom is A- and dad is A+ so that makes me an A smthing, just that my grandparents have other bloodtypes so not even the A is 100% certain.
 
I'm fairly sure I'm O+. I did test it myself and it can be a little tricky to tell the difference between agglutination and coagulation.

AB negative, rarest bloodtype in the world. Wonder if it's something to be proud of.

Lower chance of survival in case of an emergency :(

I suggest you donate blood if you can.
 
AB+ and proud of it for some reason. I heard somewhere that a lot of Native Americans have this blood type, so other than my complete inability to grow facial hair, my blood type is probably the only legacy of my 3/16 Native ancestry.
 
I dunno what my blood type is. I've never given any blood with my consent. They always take it for tests and at that time they did not let me know what type of blood i was.

Actually no there are some blood types that are extremely rare, such as some rare african blood types and a few indian and European ones that are present only in minority groups. These are mostly antigen incompatabilities but some blood types have been given letter classifications of their own because they are so rare.

African American Blacks - U- and Duffy-
American Indians and Alaskan Native peoples - RzRz
Pacific Island peoples and Asians - Jk ( a- b- )
Hispanics - Di ( b- )
Russian Jews - Dr ( a- )
Whites - Kp ( b- ) and Vel

I'm A+, fairly common.

AB+ people can recieve blood from any one, but O- can recieve blood only from O-

So AB+ is the universal reciever

and because anyone can recieve O- blood it is the unversal donor.

Not true actually, AB- can recieve wide variety of different blood types A-,B-, O- and of course AB- so they're usually hunky dory for blood stocks here.

O+ oddly enough and A+, B-, and A- I believe are the blood types banks most frequently run short on. This is beacause O+ is very common and widely used and the same with A+, the other two have less potential donors. But oddly O+ and A+ often are in the greatest demand with O+ being the worst needed blood because most O+ people don't donate out of the perception that their blood is so common that banks don't need it, that's exactly why the do of course, because they use it much more often.

Why? It's supply and demand, and while there will be less supply of AB negative, the demand will be just as low.

Um. AB might be the rarest, but you can receive from many people.

O- is the one to have that sucks.
 
Whoops. Shows how much I know lol.
Well at least I'm not one of the 14 who voted "I Don't Know".
