Man with rare antibody saving unborn children becomes blood donor royalty

ABC  

Arthur Croft's regular blood donations have helped save the lives of thousands of women and children across New South Wales. Jemma Falkenmire from the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood said RH disease was "awful" before the antibody was discovered. "It's pretty much eradicated thanks to only around 170 Australians, including Arthur whose blood is making this antibody," she said. "If you're a female donor, you can't do it, it only works for men and that's because women bear children," Ms Falkenmire said.
