Blood Mixing: Over the years the use of mixing blood has become very useful in the different fields f science including medical science. Mixing two people's blood can cause the blood the clump leading to fatal consequences. In the medical field today there are studies going on to observe the effects of mixing human blood with blood from certain animals. In some cases it can be hard to find blood transfusions for life threatening patients so scientists today are trying to find substitutes to save lives.
Transfusions: A person can always give blood to another person if they have the same type of blood, however, this isn't the only way to receive blood from another person. A transfusion can also work if the receiver's blood doesn't have any antibodies against the donor's blood antigens. If the receiver's blood has antibodies that match the donor's blood's antigens then the red cells in the donated blood will clump and the transfusion will fail. To see if who can donate to who see the chart to the left.For more information see: http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/landsteiner/readmore.html
