Apply to become a blood donor, they test your blood and you can even request to have a cholesterol count done  🙂

And you never know, your blood could save a life or two especially if you have a rare blood type like mine

I have very rare 'blue blood" AB+ and have been called upon to have some drained out of me after car accidents.

Joono I could give you blood if you needed it, I am the same as you 🙂

I am A+ and have been a blood donor in the past. Now I am to old and on medications, so my blood donating days are over.

One interesting thing I remember from the last war. Adolf Hitler not only tattooed all jews with numbers on their wrists, but they also tattooed blood groups on peoples insside upper arm .

My mother was O+ and when she landed in Hospita, here in Australia, for major surgery I was asked if I knew her blood group. When I told the Doctor to look at the inside of her upper arm, the Doctor was amazed to see the O+ tattoo. He thought that everyone should have such tattoo, it would make lifesaving differences in many cases, especially emergency surgery.

I guess it would depend to soe extent at least  on whether both parents had the same blood group

. It is impossible for two rh- parents to give birth to an rh+ child, but I believe it is possible for an rh- child to be born to parents who are both rh+ The positive or negative factordoes not indicate a type of blood- as in O, A or AB etc. but rather the the presence or absence of a certain element.

So while two parents whose blood lacks that element cannot produce a child whose blood contains it, it is possble for a child to be born without that element despite both parents having it.

I am not eligible to donate blood, (too old).  I have always wanted to go and receive blood, because I have been tired forever, but only because of overwork.

A test of my cholesterol costs nothing, it is high, which is quite OK because my coronary calcium score is zero.

Thats interesting Erica that your mother had her blood type tattooed on her arm.  I knew that SS soldiers had theirs done, as that was used as an easy means of identifying them after the war by the Allies.
