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.
