What blood type of Thomas A Edison?

Type O is considered the theoretical universal?
Type O- is actually the theoretical universal donor; type O+ cannot donate to everyone. Blood has two main types of protein markers; an ABO group, and an Rh factor. There are also smaller, less important factors, but these two are what donors need to have a generally successful blood transfusion. ABO group proteins show up as A or B, therefore creating blood that has both (AB) and blood that has neither (O) as well as type A and type B. The Rh factor then either shows up or doesn't, so if someone doesn't have the factor, their blood type is -(negative), and if they do, then their blood is +(positive). If a person with O- got any other type of blood, then the blood would see the proteins on the blood as foreign invaders and attack it, whereas AB+ can receive from anyone without disease.
