29、 the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a persons blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.B
30、ecause of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed.
