Hero of the day: man saves the lives of over 2 million babies

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

'Man with the golden arm' saves 2million babies in half a century of donating rare type of blood:

James Harrison, 74, has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia.

It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.

Mr Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations.

It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far.

He said: 'I've never thought about stopping. Never.' He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 litres of blood.

Anonymous said...: To the gay people who cannot donate blood. The reason you can't is because of your risky behavior. Change your behavior if you want to donate.

To those that think the world is overpopulated, have you ever seen how much open, unused, and empty space we have on this planet? Seriously, people are not dying because we're literally trampling each other to death.

You might argue that people are starving to death. This isn't because of a lack of food, it's a lack of getting the food to them. It's a political issue, not a food issue.

Get a clue people, not matter what Green Peace or the Sierra Club tells you, it's not an issue.; March 23, 2010 at 10:00 PM

Anonymous said...: lol yeah....very noble what hes doing, dont get me wrong...and needing a tranfusion from a car accident..yeah thats one thing, but handing it to genetically inferior people that might pass those genes means there would only be a greater need for this blood supply...so yes, it is an injustice to nature and natural selection, at that rate, 2.2 mill, multiplied exponentially over the course of a 100 years could very easily put this defective gene into up to 40% of the worlds population..and thats assuming they each only had one child...so when he can donate enough blood for 40% of the worlds population all at once, then we can talk strong and weak vs. nature... and as for overpopulation.... well duh theres enough space in the world for people to live...but is there enough food?... right now if every person in china had one egg... they could do it.. but if everyone wanted a second egg, there wouldnt be enough to go around, thats just one country. With crops dying, economies failing and natural resources depleting...how long do you think the food will last if we add more people to the table?... now understanding this is NOT being heartless, its being logical and more concerned about the future of mankind than the few people that live right now. Math is math, and until 2+2 stops equaling 4... this is the correct answer... dont believe me? Do the math yourself... see if im lying.. love and peace and caring is fine... but survival of the fittest is what got us to this world you so love... maybe take a step back and realize the ignorance of yelling at those that do believe in natural selection... If you want to live in a world of people with health problems asthma, bronchitis, mucus and the inability to even be able to bag groceries due to mental disabilities...fine...but then let them breath YOUR air and eat YOUR food...not mine or my very healthy childs food or air.. I do contribute to society, and he will int he future as well, drooling in a chair is NOT contributing and therefore useless... now aside from correcting hippies who believe rainbows and unicorns drop candy from the skies when its sunny....

Anonymous said...: no, this species is successful because the strong survive and the weak die, this goes for any animal population, and yes we are animals. Do you think 4000 years ago that if someone lost a leg that the rest of the tribe would slow down just for them? Someone with anemia back then didn't get a blood transfusion, there were no needles, or medicine based on science for that matter, so they would die. So yes they helped each other hunt and gather and care for each other, but sickness was actually treated as a demon, a horrible and evil plague to befall them, and the sickly were usually sent out to die on their own to keep from spreading it to the rest of the village or tribe. A little flu could have killed an entire village back then. Much like Alaskans sending the elderly out on an ice drift when they could no longer contribute to the society. Pick up a history book that isn't about America, you might actually learn how brutal the world truly is, there isn't a Starbucks on the corner street of every country.

Unknown said...: Ok, where to start... first of all, in the law of nature the strong survive and the weak die off. Here's the thing, intelligence is part of this equation and although humans may not be the strongest we are one of the smartest and thus our survival. Helping our own species is a way to keep up the gene pool and therefore increase diversity and the chance for life to go on even after disaster. Monkeys have been observed going out of their way and even sacrificing themselves for other similar primates for no reason than to keep the others alive, not because they are above nature,but because helping others is nature.

Point 2, you really should read up on the subject before you spread your ignorance. These children are not genetically inferior, it's simply incompatible rh factors. if they were born by a mother with a different factor they would have been fine. The genetics didnt make then any less just incompatible parents. After birth though, they are no less or different from anyone else. Simply, a positive or a negative rh factor makes no difference, niether is better or worse than the other.

point 3, this man is only one of many who can donate (about 15% of the white population can and less for minorities) It only take a few antibodies to create a massive snow ball effect in the body. Please read how antibodies work and you will completely understand

your friendly neighborhood biochemist PS My mom was Rh negative and my dad was Rh positive, so she was given injections of Rhogam to prevent any problems for me and my brothers; March 24, 2010 at 1:31 AM
Ajya Phoenix said...: Wow! Over-population? Do you even have a clue what that means? Do you have any idea how much resource(s) there really is? I don't mean fossil fuels that have been wasted on the industry, luxury and general abundance showered on the privileged of the world, thereby creating a shortage for everyone else, but basic foodstuffs? There is plenty of food to feed everyone, but the system of global capitalism spreads a very unfair percentage of food and raw materials away from those who need it the most and into the supermarkets of those who are spoiled. Letting the weak survive? What?! So, there should be no medicine, and no one should be allowed to survive who gets sick and whose body, without the help of any external factors, can overcome the sickness? Who are you, do you think you're somehow special and more deserving of life than anyone else?

Anonymous said...: to the people applying darwinism to humans:
you're doing it wrong.
your theory on it is not more elaborate than 2+2=4. but nature is not as simple as that.
you're forgetting that the reason the human history is a successful one is not superior blood or anything like that. it's basically science. using tools and our brain. natural selection very obviously works totally different for humans. live expectancy or world population increased in recent 2000 years not because our genes become better - natural selection doesn't work on that timescale
(by the way, your theory is nothing new, it's the foundation of the social darwinism which was very popular in the '30s and '40s of last century in germany)

who knows, maybe there will be a cure for this in future. or the blood he is generously sharing now can be manufactured in vitro.

and this is exactly the thing people forget when talking about the lack of resources. of course mankind cannot grow with the same speed and at the same time increase the need for resources. but the past has shown that this is a matter of efficiency, which can be increased. and because that is strongly dependent on what scientists all over the world find out, the nobel prize is given to them.

Anonymous said...: I've worked in a transfusion service for over 30 years. Without having the entire picture, my guess is that this man is Rh negative and has anti-D (Rheusus factor) in his blood as a result of being transfused with Rh positive blood during his surgery. If he needed 13 units, it's possible there wasn't enough Rh negative blood in stock and he was given Rh positive blood. In response, his body started to produce anti-D.

Anti-D isn't rare. What is rare is finding a selfless person willing to donate blood repeatedly. His blood isn't being used for transfusions. I believe they are using his antibody to produce Rh Immune Globulin. This prevents pregnant women from producing antibody against their unborn babies. Vickie is correct. Fifteen percent of the population is Rh negative. Even Rh positive people may be heterozygous for the gene, meaning their children may be Rh negative. Their are 57 comments posted already. Statistically speaking, about 8 or 9 of you geniuses have Rh negative mothers and might not be alive if your mothers didn't receive RhIG.; March 24, 2010 at 3:12 AM

Anonymous said...: Overpopulation is only a problem in those parts of the world where the people are too stupid to feed themselves, yet still pop kids out knowing they can't feed them. These people should start feeding on each other, or even better, go where the food is!

Helen Keller did contribute something to the world, entertainment. Most tards I see are quite entertaining, in one way or another. That's why they say "hire the handicapped, they're fun to watch." Modern medicine has given life to many grotesque creatures that should have died, and have no purpose in life other than as an example of what happens when you drink paint during pregnancy. Many of them are great practice for surgeons, because slipping with a scalpel inside one of these horrors is just going to leave more resources for the rest of us.

Too many people? Time to experiment. don't like using monkeys to cure cancer? Use real people, pluck them out of whatever refugee camp is most overloaded at the time, or just add things to the water there to find out if it kills anybody. Let the surgeons practice on them, let the drug companies do all the research they want. Us the people who are going to die anyway to save the rest of us. Slavery wouldn't be so bad compared to starving to death, why not sell the strong ones to factories? The factories would just have to feed and house them, and safety wouldn't be an issue because the people are pretty much throwaways anyway.

I'm going to go get myself a big, fat, greasy burger, with fries and soda and cole slaw, and it'll taste great. One of the few ways it could be made better is if I got to sit down in front of these starving people, a fence separating us so that they can smell the fries, the bacon on the burger, hear the crunch of the fresh veggies, see the sweat on the cold soda when they can't even get water. The burger is going to be so tender, made from an animal that ate more than they ever will. If only they made baby burgers, each meal could reduce the population by one, and maybe motivate the parent to either save themselves or kill themselves.

Guess I kinda got off topic. Yeah, the guy in the story is nice, giving all that blood away.; March 24, 2010 at 3:58 AM

Anonymous said...: Rh factor might be wiped out of the gene pool eventually if this guy wasn't donating, but probably not since it has been around since we split off from rhesus monkeys. So it seems to me any argument of his aiding in making our species misfits is disingenuous, he is helping to give people a chance at life that might help the rest of us. Anemia due to Rh factor occurs when the mother is Rh negative and has her second Rh positive child. She always has to have a first to activate an immune response to the blood protein factor. In other words letting the anemia kill and debilitate infants is cruel and would never cause natural selection to eradicate the condition.
also if you argue against this, do not wear glasses or contacts or take any pharmaceuticals you don't make yourself, don't wear shoes or clothes you don't make yourself.

Or, put another way, we don't quit being animals because we can choose - we become more than animals. To to otherwise promotes tyranny of the strong and/or the clever over everyone else.

You can give plasma a couple of times per week, blood a lot less often, because they spin the plasma out of your blood and return the rest of it, whereas blood cells take time to regenerate. Also, many times they will pay you $20 or so to give plasma, so I hope he's making some pocket change with such often donations.; March 24, 2010 at 7:30 PM

Anonymous said...: Just to clarify on the issue of gays and donating blood... WARNING THIS MAY BE TOO EXPLICIT FOR SOME PEOPLE (I've tried to keep it as scholarly as possible)...

They specifically ask about homosexual males. The main concern is with anal intercourse, since it has a significantly higher risk of transmitting disease. There is an increased chance of damaging the mucosa and allowing direct blood contact.

The question about gays was written 30+ years ago when people automatically (and erroneously) associated homosexual males with promiscuous anal intercourse. A more appropriate question to ask would be, "Do you engage in anal intercourse?" It is less discriminatory and actually gets at the true issue, which is not just limited to homosexual males.

I hate to post such a tangential comment, but I have seen so many arguments on this issue without people fully understanding it. I want to end the silly argument.

Anonymous said...: I noticed that some comments involved at least a little thought, some were way off topic, and then there is a category I like to call "those without any functioning intelligence. Many thoughts about survival of the fittest which left out a few important characteristics but that's understandable. Comparisons between Helen Keller and Stephen Hawking made little sense other than the contributors demonstration of ignorance personified. Too much hate on display here too.
The article was interesting and the man is making a contribution to the world but he isn't a saint, just a compassionate man. I am also not one to start arguments with believers but god had nothing to do with this man's decision to donate his plasma. He is donating his plasma, not whole blood. The take 2 pints of whole blood remove most of the plasma and then put what left back into his body. This is not the same as donating blood. This process can be done much more often than the donation of whole blood. Praising this man's compassion is the correct thing to do. I only bring up the comments made regarding god because I have lately been wondering why some find it necessary to involve religion here at this forum discussing a man donating plasma. God had nothing to do with this. Man was walking the earth long before god was invented to explain the unknown. Most of the religions of today and certainly the "Abrahamic" religions have their roots in the middle east which some people's logic would dictate that we are all related to Abraham. Since all of these religious permutations are based in mythology what makes your belief in god more correct than my belief that true enlightenment in found not by reading a book that you were taught is "the word of god" but rather by extensive introspection. Keep your religion to yourself and I won't criticize you ever again and will not again mention that I do not believe in your god or the existence of any gods for that matter.; March 24, 2010 at 11:08 PM

Rowena said...: So I would normally post as anonymous, only this is getting too confusing.
One of the anonymouses above (the too confusing manymany anonymouses) asked of us all how many of those saying thank you would actually donate blood.
Well, I donated blood the week after I turned 16, and I'm just waiting for the three month limit in my country between donations to be up so I can donate again.
Does that help answer it?

This is an awesome man. He inspires me to donate again and again. The idea of sitting there and voluntarily letting someone take half a litre of my blood out is still very strange to me, but I am nonetheless going to give again. And I'm trying to get everyone else I know doing it too...

I had not realised giving blood could save this many people. It's quite incredible really.

But on the flip side, he saved a baby who will become the next Hitler. He saved a baby that could pretty much be anything or nothing imaginable or unimaginable for our future. Maybe we'll never know. That's why I like to think that regardless of the fate of our species, everyone deserves a chance at life. Some people are born more unable than others, but that doesn't mean we're above helping them. What ever you happen to be doing or not is what you're suppose to be doing. I choose to value life, and if your life is linked to why my daughter is born with any genetic mutation good or bad, then I choose to deal with the consequences. Simple as that.; April 12, 2010 at 1:13 AM

of note, this interaction can be seen with the first birth but will only affect subsequent births. so before we had RhoGAM we just told Rh- mothers that they couldnt conceive any more children; April 13, 2010 at 4:30 AM
