Isn't it on your birth certificate? And you could ask your doctor, dentist, and I think your insurance company. Or ask your parents

On your birth certificate??? Never heard of such a thing
a dr..or dentist would not have it unless they HAD to type you....same with your parents....they do not run type testing just for nothing
and the insurance co

are you old enough to donate? If not its probably a pain in the rear that will cost money as your insurance wont pick up the bill.

why don't you be a suckup, and suggest to your science or health teacher to call a blood bank, and let them test you as a learning experience?
That is what our school did, and how I learned.

I agree with this... you give something that is soooooo needed and you find out what you need to know.. I cant tell you how much we (trauma people) actually use donated blood.

I was wondering the same thing too. My school does blood drives every few months and when i donated (16 years old w/ parents permission) the first time, a week later they sent me a card with the info on it.
