They use the same blood type because other wise the body will reject the Donor type. It has to do with protein markers. There are universal donors who can give blood to anyone, these are people with an O blood type. There is also the Universal recipient which is someone with Ab blood type. Alot of blood banks have gone to using what is known as Plasma. It is derived from blood donations and is not subject to rejection from the recipient.
