Do You Have Golden Blood?

if so you are one of only 40 or so people in the whole world,



that has been found in the last 50 years that has the rarest of the rare, photograph by allinonemovie/Pixabay, Rh-null blood is called “golden blood” for two reasons, the most important one is that its complete lack of Rh antigens means that it can be accepted by anyone with a rare blood type within the Rh blood system, its life-saving potential is so enormous that even though blood samples donated at blood banks are anonymized, scientists often try to track the donors of Rh-null blood to directly ask them to donate more, however, because of its scarcity, golden blood is only given to patience in the most extreme cases, because it is almost impossible to replace,

but golden blood also holds immense scientific value as it could help researchers unravel the mysteries of the physiological role of the intriguingly complex Rh system, and here is the thing, anyone with Rh-null blood should not technically be alive, but here is a fascinating story of Thomas, who is alive, well and helping others with his rare blood group, not the man with the golden gun, but the man with golden blood.
