  Had to check my license. My Mom knows my blood type but I always forget, and when I filled out the organ donor part on my license, I made sure to ask my Mom so I would write it down correctly.

  Looking for something else, found this thread, and thought I'd give the new group a chance to post their types................

  Here are a couple of general info charts........................

  Compatibility

  Blood donors and blood recipients must have compatible blood types. O- is the universally compatible blood type. The chart below illustrates how people with different blood types can receive or donate other blood (X means compatible). An A- person, for example, can receive either O- or A-, and can donate to people with AB+, AB-, A+ or A- blood.

  Recipient Donor O- O+ B- B+ A- A+ AB- AB+ AB+ X X X X X X X X AB- X X X X A+ X X X X A- X X B+ X X X X B- X X O+ X X O- X

  Frequency

  Blood types are not evenly distributed throughout the human population. O+ is the most common, AB- is the rarest. There are also variations in blood-type distribution within human subpopulations.

  Type	Frequency

  O+ 38% A+ 34% B+ 9% O- 7% A- 6% AB+ 3% B- 2% AB- 1%

  I've shared this experience before, but a segment on 60 Minutes II from the fall of 2001 was what sealed the deal for me, as far as leaving JW's. It was about this kid who had sickle cell disease, and due to some mix-up he got transfused with the wrong blood type. But the happifying result was that it changed his blood type and cured him of the disease, saving him from a life of increasing pain, decreasing mobility, and an untimely death.
