An end to Transfusion shortages

    Scientists have developed a method of converting blood from one group to another. It could be used to boast supplies of group O blood, known as “Universal” because it can be given to anyone.

    The blood cells of people with group A and B blood contain one of two different sugar molecules – known as antigens which can trigger an immune system response.

    People with AB blood have both types of molecule, while those with group O blood have neither. This means groups A, B and AB can only be given to patients with compatible blood, while O can be given to anyone. Group O donor’s are therefore always in demand, and O blood is often in short supply.

    Is this going to be full proof? What do you have to say in regard to the above mentioned topic?
