B- BLOOD NEEDED

[gothwalk]

There's an email starting to spread across Ireland, asking anyone who has the B- blood type to get in touch with Vincent Boyer at happyvincent@netscape.net. I've just checked with him, and the request is genuine - a friend of his has leukemia, and the Blood Transfusion Board can't find anyone with the right blood type. So if you're in Ireland - or in Europe, for that matter - and have the right blood type, please contact Vincent at the above address. If you haven't, please pick this up and spread it on, on mailing lists (where on-topic or allowed), on blogs and journals, and so on. There are 4 million people in Ireland, and many more in Europe, someone must be B-.

Hm. That makes little sense to me in how blood works... I mean, I accept you at your word, but I need to go and do my homework and figure out what's up with that. As far as I know, + can take either - or +, AB can take either A or B but can't give back to A or B, and O can give to all. Hmm.

AB can take everything. It's the universal accepter while O is the universal donor
