James Harrison: the amazing man who saved 2 million babies

When James Harrison was 14 years old, he almost died. To save his life, a complex operation was performed, during which one lung was removed, and James lost 2 liters of blood. Harrison managed to survive only thanks to donated blood, and from that moment he made a firm decision to repay this debt. On his 18th birthday, James became a donor by donating his blood for the first time.

The story could have ended there, but the doctors discovered that the man's blood is truly unique: it contains antibodies that help with Rh-conflict, a serious condition that can lead to the death of a baby in the womb. Doctors asked James to donate blood plasma regularly, to which he happily agreed. And so the blood of an ordinary man, who almost died at a young age, became a real salvation for many children. Harrison, now in his 70s, has more than two million lives saved.

The most amazing thing is that when James's daughter became pregnant, she also faced Rh-conflict, but her child was saved, because many years ago her father made a fateful decision, which allowed him to eventually become not only a grandfather, but also a savior angel for many children. …
