It would actually be very harmful, and considering the already weakened state of someone who is in need of a transfusion, they could die. This is because his or her immune system would consider the Type B blood as an invader, and would try kill it. The Type B blood would also contain immune system cells, which would think that the Type A blood was invading it, so the Type B blood would kill the Type A blood cells. Thus, not only would the person not receive any benefit, but they would lose even more of their blood cells.
