∙ 13y agoPeople with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors.
O Rh D negative is the universal donor because it does not contain any antigens (markers). When you get donated blood that has antigens that are not the same as those of the recipient the blood will clot in the body. Since O- does not have any antigens, it will be accepted by any blood type.
