Dear Marshal and Nick, I am O but I am not certain of the + or - status. I forget if I am not reminded every few years. I think my husband is also an O which makes our daughter one as well. But I think that O is universal donor whether negative or positive. My husbnd wrote the programs that almost all blood banks use to keep track of blood types in this country. I recall it well, he wrote it just after we first married and it was in the days before home computers, he wrote the programs for large mainframes and the smaller minicomputers in use at that time I remember helping him do some of the repeat coding as in those days we used big stacks of big paper with green and white stripes and I also did something with punch cards, remember those? I keypunched in the program for him for hours to save time and when I puched a card there was no damn hanging chads by gum. I also once knew from the blood bank records we worked with all those percentages, AB- was the most rare type if I recall, but as that was 23 years ago I am lucky I can remember doing it at all.
O is one of the odder of the blood types.. I need to get back to blood type study, I was in to it for a while as it is linked to my hobby of studying anomalies and oddities. Later.
