In fact the opposite is true ... people who ascribe a set of characteristics to a random mutation with the implication that those who carry the mutation are somehow endowed with this long list of seemingly desirable yet completely subjective traits ... a belief that clearly gives subscribers a feeling of being different from and even better than others who do not carry the mutation ... those people are so twisted by their need to feel special that they ignore the experiences of others that contradict their theory, desperate to feel more special or better than others. We're all special. In fact everyone is so special, there's nothing special about being special. I have true blue eyes and porcelain skin, precognition, heavy deja vu, strong syncs, low blood pressure, low resting heart rate, always felt different (what thinking person doesn't?) ... and I'm full of monkey blood. All of those things may be true about OP and other negs but they are also true about people who carry the rhesus factor. It's amazing that rather than accepting the beautiful variation in humans and acknowledging the innate power and abilities all possess and can leverage ... humans would rather that these beautiful traits are rare and limited to the special ones rather than the birthright of all. Alas ... everyone wants so badly to be elite. Humans who feel excluded latch on to whatever to feel special ... becoming exclusive of others is evidently a quick and powerful way to do so.

BOWLEY From the National Blood Transfusion Service, Northfield Road, Crookes, Sheffield (RECEIVED FOR PUBLICATION MARCH 8, 1956) The rabbit is customarily used for the preparation of anti-human globulin serum, but there are several objections to the choice of this animal. These are: (1) The volume of serum obtained is small. To maintain supplies it is necessary either to have several animals producing the reagent, or to hyperimmunize and bleed the rabbits used too frequently, which in turn results in a less specific reagent. (2) The rabbit is prone to myxomatosis. This note reports the preparation of the reagent in the goat. The procedure has the following advantages over preparation in rabbits: (1) It yields larger volumes of serum. (2) The goat is not prone to infection with myxomatosis. (3) The immunizing and bleeding operations are simpler and quicker. (4) For the laboratory using or distributing large quantities of the reagent feeding and housing a goat is less costly than keeping 20 or 30 rabbits. Method Sterile group 0 serum, 5 ml., was injected intramuscularly (gluteal muscles) every three to four days to a total of 10 injections. Ten days after the last injection 10-20 ml. blood was withdrawn from the leg vein. After heating the serum at 56° C. for 30 minutes (to inactivate complement) the serum was titrated in parallel against red cells sensitized with an incomplete anti-D and against unsensitized cells. Provided that the titre against the sensitized cells was at least 20 times as great as that against the non-sensitized cells, the goat was bled from the external jugular vein for 400 to 500 ml. The hair of the neck was closely clipped and a long (20 cm.) largebore needle (3 mm. external diameter) used. The blood was allowed to run straight from the needle into a sterile bottle. After clotting the serum was separated with aseptic precautions. Following inactivation of the complement as before, the anti-human agglutinins were removed by absorption with well-washed A, B, and 0 cells as for rabbit anti-human globulin serum. The goat anti-human globulin serum was standardized in the... I couldn't copy the link, so posted part of the paper here. Also, [link to en.wikipedia.org] A Coombs reagent (aka "anti-Human serum") was manufactured from the blood of Rhesus monkeys, back in the 1940's, when scientists were trying to understand why a particular anonymous couple kept giving birth to stillborns. The mother's blood (like all Rhesus negatives) did NOT "agglutinate" (or, clump; coagulate, curdle, etc.) when introduced to the serum made from the monkey blood. However, her husband's blood DID agglutinate when in contact w/ the Coomb's reagent (which is still used for testing blood samples for the 'Rhesus factor'). Therefore, Rhesus negatives' blood is compatible w/ monkey blood, while Rhesus positives are not. It is not the fault of Rhesus positive people, that the scientists at first erroneously reported the woman's husband, instead of the Rh- woman herself, as the one whose blood was compatible with the "Anti-Human" serum. In fact, it seems to have been some sort of mis-communication. Because the fact is that it is Rh negative blood, which is compatible (doesn't agglutinate) in the testing serum (made from Rhesus monkey blood). Blood products from Rhesus monkeys are (or were) incubated in rabbits, goats, or other lab animals, in order to produce the Anti-D (aka "Anti-Human" serum). "D" is the factor found in Rhesus positive people. There are many websites which point out that fact. Here's one, but I've also seen it stated on the AMA / Red Cross sites. [link to www.ginkgo-web.de] As for not putting your ancestors past it, remember: Humanity has been forced to survive climatic cataclysms which have cause severe bottlenecking of our species. Human beings are intelligent enough to survive such things, but also enough to get ourselves into lots of trouble. Also, take a good look at the temple frescoes in Northern India: the "Monkey Armies". Those aren't totally mythic, there's a lot of truth behind it. They were agriculturalists, who prided themselves on their ability to create hybrid crops and animals too (cattle, etc.). Around the same time that the Vedic agriculturalists were experimenting with breeding, they also introduced the caste systems, monarchies, and slavery to their societies. Even today, certain people are talking about creating a slave race of hybrids (Human x Chimpanzee). However, whether they realize it or not -- it's already been done. And the only way to do it, is to breed a female Human with a male lower primate (certain monkeys or apes). I've just read through this whole thread & came across this but cannot find ANYTHING about the negative blood NOT agglutinating with the serum?? I went to both of the links but none of what is written above is in either of them?? I did however find this - [link to www.birth.com.au] Anti-D immunoglobulin is a component of donated blood, harvested from people who have developed antibodies against 'positive blood'. The use of 'anti-D' has greatly reduced the incidence of Rhesus haemolytic disease for babies by reducing the chances of a woman forming antibodies from about 10% to 20% to about 0.2 to 1.5%. How was anti-D discovered? The concept of giving a donated blood product to prevent the formation of antibodies was first discovered in 1900. It took another 66 years for scientists to develop anti-D immunoglobulin (or 'anti-D') and to show the benefits it could confer to pregnant women with a negative blood group having babies with a positive blood group. After extensive research trials conducted in the late 1960's anti-D immunoglobulin became widely available to all pregnant women with a negative blood group in the early 1970's. |
