Wow! That's really cool!
I am A-... I don't know about the pos./neg. part but A is the most common. I'm very boring.
But there is this really cool thing called the Bombay phenotype that my aunt has. Has anyone heard of it? You kind of need to know a bit about genetics to understand, but I will try to explain.
My grandpa has type AB blood and my grandma is type O. So basically their kids will always have type A or B blood. But my aunt has type O. Basically its because there is this other gene, when it is not expressed (when you have two recessive alleles for it, which is rare) it doesn't express the antibodies(A and B) no matter what type of blood you have.

If I understand correctly, I shouldn't be here. My mother is A positive and my father B positive. Since my mother had a positive blood type, any conceptions with a child of the opposite blood type is usually destroyed by the anti-bodies in the mother's bloodstream. At least thats what I've heard. *shrug*

Yes, that's true. My mom is A negative and my dad is A positive (or is it the other way around...) and the same thing happened with her. Because I am A- and my brother is A+, so basically you let the doctors know (and I guess they find out what blood type the baby is or something) and then they can do something for that. I'm not exactly sure what... But if they didn't do anything then yeah, you're right.
