Then again, one never knows in this amazing universe, the possibilites are endless?...hmmmm......Peace

Well there are many traits shared by those with a RH- blood type, here you can read some of them:

Well the most important part is that there is no protein which comes from the Rhesus Monkey in it, unlike more than half humans, and in my case is not something I have to thank my parents, well at least not completely for they are both RH+.
I applaud you for wanting to donate, many people need it, of course I have even heard that those with my bood type shouldn't even receive blood from others, even from the same type, but rather save theirs for a future need.
