true RH negative blood creates

true RH negative blood creates
a little bit of a challenge of

a little bit of a challenge of
creating vita’s. My sister has

creating vita’s. My sister has
RH negative. Yeah. So it’s it’s

RH negative. Yeah. So it’s it’s
not true. It’s so difficult. it

not true. It’s so difficult. it
makes it difficult. Yeah and

makes it difficult. Yeah and
that it stops me because I

that it stops me because I

that challenges that and that

that challenges that and that
blood is like it’s origin.

blood is like it’s origin.
It’s. Specific place of the

It’s. Specific place of the
world. Spain basques country of

world. Spain basques country of
Spain. You won’t like if you

Spain. You won’t like if you
look at the distribution of

look at the distribution of
people with RH negative blood

people with RH negative blood
around the world Asian

around the world Asian
countries have essentially zero

countries have essentially zero
percent population with RH

percent population with RH
negative blood African

negative blood African
countries. you know like a non

countries. you know like a non
colonized, you know South

colonized, you know South
Africa has a pretty high ratio

Africa has a pretty high ratio
but they’ve been colonized.

but they’ve been colonized.
Yeah. but so yeah. so it’s it’s

Yeah. but so yeah. so it’s it’s
a it’s a it’s it’s a challenge

produce? I have a I have a very

produce? I have a I have a very
I’m a very people. but. I they

I’m a very people. but. I they
say aliens. Yeah, I don’t know.

say aliens. Yeah, I don’t know.
it’s not difficult at all. it’s

it’s not difficult at all. it’s
not difficult so you can

not difficult so you can
classify blood-type. Yeah

classify blood-type. Yeah
because the the lender factor

because the the lender factor
that is a zero or zero a-b

that is a zero or zero a-b
r-a-t There are the four types

r-a-t There are the four types
it’’s Cigarette of the blood

it’’s Cigarette of the blood
and the other one is the air

and the other one is the air
age factor, so you have it

age factor, so you have it
you’re positive and you even if

you’re positive and you even if
you don’t you’re negative So

you don’t you’re negative So
for my blood when you are

for my blood when you are
donating people you have to

donating people you have to
match the letter factor. me a

match the letter factor. me a
a-b zero-zero 88 - eight yes A

a-b zero-zero 88 - eight yes A
age factor. okay, so if it’s

age factor. okay, so if it’s
something it’s something that

something it’s something that
you.

want. and yes, it’s okay

want. and yes, it’s okay
because of everything almost

because of everything almost
every need to express in in in

every need to express in in in
in the body. So if you have

in the body. So if you have
that protein the age you are

that protein the age you are
positive and if you don’t have

positive and if you don’t have
it so you are negative but if

it so you are negative but if
you make a positive.

So that’s where you end up with

So that’s where you end up with
universal donors and universal

universal donors and universal
receivers people really think.

receivers people really think.
anybody, but then you’ll get

anybody, but then you’ll get
the opposite of that as well

the opposite of that as well
that people can only receive

that people can only receive
from very specific It’s

from very specific It’s
supposed to be that negative

supposed to be that negative
can be a universal donner is

can be a universal donner is
being an o or zero You have no

being an o or zero You have no
leather factor and you have no

leather factor and you have no
r-factor but it it can be.

r-factor but it it can be.
useful only there an emergency

useful only there an emergency
you don’t want to make

you don’t want to make
blood-type because the basics

blood-type because the basics
we work with it’s. leather

we work with it’s. leather
factor and air factor, but

factor and air factor, but
there are other ones. so. okay.

there are other ones. so. okay.
It’s not that simple. but you

It’s not that simple. but you
know there are other ones. ED

know there are other ones. ED
and that they are not that

and that they are not that
common and not that dangerous.

common and not that dangerous.
but that universal donor and

but that universal donor and
universal receiver. It’s a it’.

universal receiver. It’s a it’.
Diving use anymore except that

Diving use anymore except that
you are attending an emergency

you are attending an emergency
like a huge accident or you’re

like a huge accident or you’re
gonna you’re going to have a

gonna you’re going to have a
lot of injuries and a person.

lot of injuries and a person.
that makes sense. so if it

that makes sense. so if it
affects it also affects your

affects it also affects your
ability to make no, I mean you

ability to make no, I mean you
can make but to successfully

can make but to successfully
carry out a pregnancy. Yeah,

carry out a pregnancy. Yeah,
there’s there’s issues so you

there’s there’s issues so you
you you might have like seen

you you might have like seen
like an old movie from like the

like an old movie from like the
sixties or seventies of like

sixties or seventies of like
young love and. Go get married.

young love and. Go get married.
I always remembered it in the

I always remembered it in the
the Good-by girl that Richard

the Good-by girl that Richard
this movie when they call in

this movie when they call in
love and they wanna go to the

love and they wanna go to the
courthouse and get married, but

courthouse and get married, but
they had to go get a blood test

they had to go get a blood test
first that’s the purpose of

first that’s the purpose of
that blood tests. you know in

that blood tests. you know in
the old days before of science

the old days before of science
came up with the solution of

came up with the solution of
creating more successful

creating more successful
pregnancies. So now it’s not as

pregnancies. So now it’s not as
much of an issue, but no one

much of an issue, but no one
talks about this that of what

talks about this that of what
that solution is. it’s it’s the

that solution is. it’s it’s the
program shot that’s women with

program shot that’s women with
RH negative blood with a

RH negative blood with a
partner with Rh positive blood.

partner with Rh positive blood.
I think the first pregnancy is

I think the first pregnancy is
fine, but then after that,

fine, but then after that,
you’re likelihood of

you’re likelihood of
miscarriage, you’re likelihood

miscarriage, you’re likelihood
is like Super high. It’s like

is like Super high. It’s like
impossible to have another

impossible to have another
successful baby so they inject

successful baby so they inject
they inject the antibodies of

they inject the antibodies of
through. Program That’s

through. Program That’s
suspended through a heavy metal

suspended through a heavy metal
solution and so there’s a lot

solution and so there’s a lot
of controversy. you know.

What that the the first

What that the the first
pregnancy it’s safe. because

pregnancy it’s safe. because
the mother is created is a

the mother is created is a
starting to create antibodies

starting to create antibodies
to create even if the baby gets

to create even if the baby gets
positive, which is 27 percent

positive, which is 27 percent
of of being positive. and so

of of being positive. and so
the first pregnancy is okay.

the first pregnancy is okay.
The mother is creating

The mother is creating
antibody, but the second for.

antibody, but the second for.
Second pregnancy the mother has

Second pregnancy the mother has
all the antibodies ready and

all the antibodies ready and
the baby will die of course.

the baby will die of course.
but the thing is that after

but the thing is that after
that your first pregnancy you

that your first pregnancy you
need to get that shot. and

need to get that shot. and
preventing or destroying the

preventing or destroying the
antibodies and the second

antibodies and the second
pregnancy will be safe. then

pregnancy will be safe. then
the third pregnancy is okay.

the third pregnancy is okay.
It’s only problem with the

It’s only problem with the
Bayer pregnancy. For you know

Bayer pregnancy. For you know
if they’re if. because there

if they’re if. because there
are hold antibodies will be a

are hold antibodies will be a
use and the second pregnancy

use and the second pregnancy
then the mother won’t have any

then the mother won’t have any
more antibodies and they serve

more antibodies and they serve
during the pregnancy. The the

during the pregnancy. The the
baby will be safe and the body

baby will be safe and the body
start to create antibodies

start to create antibodies
skin. Wow. Is it is it is very

skin. Wow. Is it is it is very
sad? I I when I was in my

She didn’t even know her
blood-type or her husband’s

blood-type or her husband’s
blood-type And she lost the

blood-type And she lost the
baby during her second

baby during her second
pregnancy. because of the

pregnancy. because of the
r-factor It’s a. To see how the

r-factor It’s a. To see how the
baby ends up because of the

baby ends up because of the
antibodies reaction I had like

antibodies reaction I had like
during that time, I was like

during that time, I was like
three weeks in my internship

three weeks in my internship
and I started with pediatrics

and I started with pediatrics
and this lady we were supposed

and this lady we were supposed
to receive the baby but what I

to receive the baby but what I

this Dream of a week in my

this Dream of a week in my
internship and I have been. A

internship and I have been. A
lot of things during my school,

lot of things during my school,
but to see a baby in that

but to see a baby in that
situation and and to watch a

situation and and to watch a
mother in that situation and

mother in that situation and
feeling guilty because she was

feeling guilty because she was

supposed to know. he was most
women don’t know even in even

women don’t know even in even
in the developed world, they

in the developed world, they
don’t even know I didn’t know

don’t even know I didn’t know
you know I just like I had a

you know I just like I had a
friend that educated me about

friend that educated me about
my blood. And so then that took

my blood. And so then that took
me down a rabbit hole of like.

me down a rabbit hole of like.
you know trying you know if I

you know trying you know if I
was to pursue becoming a

was to pursue becoming a
mother, What would that look

mother, What would that look
like and if I wanted to do it

like and if I wanted to do it
all naturally, you know without

all naturally, you know without
having cuz I researched that

having cuz I researched that
shot and there is a lot of

shot and there is a lot of
controversy around you know, is

controversy around you know, is
it even ethical for us to be

it even ethical for us to be
doing that and they do it

doing that and they do it
without question like my sister

without question like my sister
has RH negative and she she has

has RH negative and she she has
three children. You know it

three children. You know it
just by default and I tried

just by default and I tried
talking to her about the shot.

talking to her about the shot.
She didn’t even know what it

She didn’t even know what it
was. She was like, Oh, they

was. She was like, Oh, they
just gave me a shot so I could

just gave me a shot so I could
have more kids and I’m like

have more kids and I’m like
well people are shooting me up.

well people are shooting me up.
I wanna know what’s going on in

I wanna know what’s going on in
my body. I wanna know these

my body. I wanna know these
things because you have the

things because you have the
option of having A- one

option of having A- one
pregnancy and then being

pregnancy and then being
informed about your choice.

informed about your choice.
It’s like anything else like

It’s like anything else like
any other condition like if you

any other condition like if you
have my own math or something

have my own math or something
going on in your world or

going on in your world or
you’re Or something you need to

you’re Or something you need to
make a choice I I’m I’m going

make a choice I I’m I’m going
to be safe. and healthy with

to be safe. and healthy with
one pregnancy and that’s it.

one pregnancy and that’s it.
and you can decide if you

and you can decide if you
accept it or. push a little

accept it or. push a little
harder and have another baby

harder and have another baby
and probably will be dangerous.

and probably will be dangerous.
Yeah. So yeah and then that

Yeah. So yeah and then that
took me down a rabbit hole of

took me down a rabbit hole of
of like so what’s the ethics of

of like so what’s the ethics of
in dating just immediately

in dating just immediately
asking? Blood-type from the

asking? Blood-type from the
first date. Weird right. it

first date. Weird right. it
should be tender blood-type.

should be tender blood-type.
and so then that’s what got me

and so then that’s what got me
researching like you know we’ve

researching like you know we’ve
have a. Yeah right so I I

have a. Yeah right so I I
researched and somebody

researched and somebody
everybody will know you don’t

everybody will know you don’t
have to say but then, but then

have to say but then, but then
it becomes it becomes a little

it becomes it becomes a little
bit controversial a little bit

bit controversial a little bit
racist because the origin of

racist because the origin of
that blood, which is a

that blood, which is a
recessive gene. so if you’re.

recessive gene. so if you’re.
It means that you know you

It means that you know you
really have it. That means that

really have it. That means that
both parents have a strong

both parents have a strong
lineage to that origin. So

lineage to that origin. So
that’s why if you look at the

that’s why if you look at the
demographics, there’s almost

demographics, there’s almost
zero percent in African

zero percent in African
countries almost zero percent

countries almost zero percent
in Asian countries you know,

in Asian countries you know,
it’s all it’s all centered

it’s all it’s all centered
around like Spain and Portugal

around like Spain and Portugal
and and it’s Scandinavia and

and and it’s Scandinavia and
then it kind of dilutes from

then it kind of dilutes from
there it’s really it’s it’s

there it’s really it’s it’s
really interesting and it

really interesting and it
doesn’t make me. Good right

doesn’t make me. Good right
because I totally believe

because I totally believe
biodiversity, I think that

biodiversity, I think that
that’s like the most important

that’s like the most important
thing and that we should try to

thing and that we should try to
be you know diversifying in our

be you know diversifying in our
world that we’re gonna become

world that we’re gonna become
so globalized we should be but

so globalized we should be but
then that bloodline like

then that bloodline like
totally messes it all up and

totally messes it all up and
just Yeah it makes me feel

difficult than you think it is.

I want you to have to

on what you are who you think

on what you are who you think
you are. Yeah you want whatever

you are. Yeah you want whatever
that is. Yeah and then it’s the

that is. Yeah and then it’s the
same thing sometimes kind words

phrase too with the when you

phrase too with the when you
find a baby in the well you

find a baby in the well you
leave it and that’s like a very

leave it and that’s like a very
common

thing. and then it’s like are

you gonna take the full

you gonna take the full
responsibility of this life

responsibility of this life
that you save for the rest of

in the wild and if we were

in the wild and if we were
abandoned by a group that’s

abandoned by a group that’s
almost certain with that for

almost certain with that for
most most societal type

most most societal type

That’s a huge thing and a huge

That’s a huge thing and a huge
thing of controversy in the

thing of controversy in the
education system right now,

education system right now,
too, you know like are we

too, you know like are we
actually teaching kids to learn

actually teaching kids to learn

just pair it what we want them

just pair it what we want them
to put on this piece of paper,

to put on this piece of paper,
you want a Coca-Cola Coca-Cola.

I was like this is what I learn

I was like this is what I learn
me having that truly

me having that truly
intelligent people that real

intelligent people that real
intelligence is the ability to

intelligence is the ability to
argue your opponent’s point

argue your opponent’s point
better than they can.

And that’s hard to do you have

And that’s hard to do you have
to know everything you have to

to know everything you have to
know both sides. so if you can

know both sides. so if you can
do that if you can sit down and

do that if you can sit down and
debate in an argument. and do

debate in an argument. and do
it better than they can. that’s

it better than they can. that’s
that’s real intelligence. and

that’s real intelligence. and
that takes huge amounts of

that takes huge amounts of
empathy as well. Yeah. so and

empathy as well. Yeah. so and
and why you have to want to do

people see things as perfectly

people see things as perfectly
as valid as the way that we do.

as valid as the way that we do.
