Type O
Well, for it to be done legally would make it a bit pointless for organ donors to get paid - you sign up to be an organ donor when you get or renew your license or state ID, but you donate the organs... after you're dead. Now, there be no Rock N' Roll... IN HELL... and, likewise, there be no need for money there, either.
Generally speaking, you won't see any particular benefits or drawbacks in your daily life. One benefit is that your blood is in HIGH demand in blood banks. As someone with type O- blood, you are a universal donor. This means that ANYONE who is in need of a blood transfusion can accept your blood. The downside to this is that it works the reverse if you are in need of a transfusion. You can only accept blood from donors who are also type O-, a small percent of the population.
They are just given the blood that they need and it will not effect anything in them.
In the UK, legally yes. These days (living) donors can be altruistic strangers, or friends / acquaintances of the recipient (whereas they used to have to be related to or married to the recipient). However medically, no, because the donor would need to have a compatible blood group to the recipient. For kidney donation, tissue (HLA) matching is also necessary, which is a far stricter criteria than just blood group matching. In most cases, HLA matches will be related to the recipient, due to sharing of genetics. For a living donation of part of a liver, the blood group matching is necessary, tissue matching is not, and the donor would need to be at least as big (if not bigger) than the recipient.
Any, the recipient must be the same blood type as the donor.
Organ donation is the transfer of an organ or tissue from a donor to a recipient. It may be a heart, lung, kidney, liver, thymus, intestine, or tissues like bone, tendons or heart valves. It is used to replace a damaged or absent organ in order to prevent death, or to improve the quality of life for the recipient. It may be used to treat cystic fibrosis, COPD, heart failure, among many others.

They don't..."mix". They are not compatible. Your body would reject it. This would happen with anything (e.g. blood group A transmitted to B, B to O, O to A). Type O- blood is considered the "universal donor" because it can be donated to people of any blood type. Type AB+ blood is considered the "universal recipient" because people with this type can receive any blood type.
B/c there aren't enough organ donors to supply the need for donor hearts.
To become an organ donor, register with your state donor registry, and indicate that you wish to be a donor on your driver's license. Talk with your family and let them know why donating your organs is important to you. They may be asked to sign a consent form after your death so your organs can be donated.
B or O. But You need to put into account if the recipient is positive or negative as well
The organ available (should) always go to the person "with greatest need" (i.e the person who will die soonest without it) - assuming that the donor 'matches' the recipient. This means that the 'pool' of people needing a organ transplant is first narrowed down to those who have a compatible blood type/tissue type as the donor, and the "most ill" of those people gets the organ. Judging how ill a person is is carried out by statistical analysis of blood results readings (and other readings)- these readings are put into an algebraic formula, which calculates (based on blood results and other readings) approximately how long the person has to live (without a transplant). For example, MELD/PELD scores used to prioritise liver transplant candidates.
patients in need of organ transplants outnumber available organs three to one.
If you are discussing live organ donation, such as part of the liver or a kidney, and you are medically expected to need such a donation at some point, then yes your friend can be tested for matching to you prior to the need for a donated organ.
