    Save your blood for yourself or a loved one who needs it. Unless you have a rare type, there is an abundance and you don't have to feel tortured.

    I don't have a rare type. However, near Christmas time there are a lot of car crashes. Most people have my blood type O+, most people getting into car crashes would have O+ so it is more needed than a rare blood.

    Yes, O+ is the most common blood type (found in 37% of people), plus it can be donated to anyone with a + rH factor. O- is universal and can be donated to anyone. 84% of people have some type of positive blood so O+ is very much loved by the blood banks and is really needed during high volume blood use times..
