Message Subject I'm SICK of the RH Negative thread SLANDER.

I was looking for the post to quote saying that Rh- mothers reject the Rh+ fetus as if it was another species. That isn't true. Look at the mule or hiney - it is a distinct species that is born to either a donkey or a horse and it is not rejected by the mother. It just can't reproduce.

Also, I can't blood from anyone but O types. My body will react to the antigens and reject it and I might well die. I am, for all intents and purposes, allergic to all other blood types because I lack the antibodies against the antigens they carry, much like Rh incompatibility. The only difference is that there's no rejection in pregnancy.

The mule and hinny are both ~Hybrid species, and the reason they can't reproduce is (if not totally sterile) they treat their fetuses (which are practically always either donkey or horse, as they can't breed with their own kind -- hybrids) exactly as if they are foreign species (which to them, they ~are).

In the last 500 yrs (since Agriculturalists have been keeping official written records), only about ~60 known cases of mules (the products of horse mares and donkey stallions) bred with other mules, have produced live offspring.

For Hinnys (the Hybrid product of a donkey mare and a horse stallion) there is only ONE known case of a live offspring within the same time-frame.

Actually, there are no recorded cases of fertile male mules. The female mule can only be bred with either a horse or a donkey and this is extremely rare, there are only 60 cases of successful offspring on record, worldwide, period. The reason for this is the fact that horses, mules and donkeys have different numbers of chromosomes, so their offspring typically can't successfully create a successful embryo. This is totally and completely different than Rh incompatibility, where the embryo is successfully created and carried, but there is a reaction to one of several proteins on the baby's red blood cells. Rh incompatibility is not even the leading cause of miscarriage.

Just want to stress that Rh disease is nothing like giving birth to a different species. That would be like creating the mule in the first place. Rh- women and men share the same genome framework as Rh+ women and men and the same number of chromosomes. They are not different species.
