2.An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease,a form of severe anaemia.He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies,including his own daughter,Tracey,who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr.Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18years old and has now racked up a total of 984donations.When he started donating,his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the"man with the golden arm"or the"man in two million".He said:"I've never thought about stopping.Never."He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13litres of blood."I was in hospital for three months,"he said."The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18."
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood.At the time,thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease.Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition.The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood.It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D.After his blood type was discovered,Mr.Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine."They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,"he said."I wasn't scared.I was glad to help.I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away."
Mr.Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood.It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2million babies so far.Mr.Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

Our booklet is bringing to you the world's top sceneries: | |
Grenada Known as the Island of Spice for its abundance of spicy plants and leaves,Grenada is one of the southernmost Windward Islands in the Caribbean Sea.Many of its spices have been destroyed by hurricanes in the last decade,though its spicy relics(遗迹) are still the inspirations of many master chefs worldwide.The central mountainous land's cooler air and waterfalls produce a near-constant cloud cover of freeze. | |
Tucson,Arizona A seeming paradise that claims to have 350sunny days a year,Tucson boasts geological beauty and hiking so fantastic that visitors can be tempted into a false sense of security.Be warned:Get prepared for the heat as it isn't unusual for temperatures to rise higher than 110°F (43°C) in summer months,when the rocks can hold that heat well into the evening hours.Even your hunting dog will get sunburned | |
Southern Belize With flash rainstorms that instantly fill the dirt roads and the wet that makes it one of the greenest places on Earth,this Maya wonderland is home to the longest barrier reef(堡礁) in the Western globe,the unique uropygialis birds and the deepest diving-the Blue Hole.Nonetheless it is the back roads of the Toledo district,where rain forest meets the jungle,that truly inspire awe and joy. | |
Newfoundland,Canada This Canadian province,which sits at the eastern edge of North America,plays the home for 22whale species and dozens of seabirds that play in groups.While the capital city of St.John's can be quite gentle,the actual island of Newfoundland has more extreme and unpredictable weather moods.Don't forget to bring your windbreakers and thick sweaters. | |
Grimsey This island across the Arctic Circle is the northernmost point of inhabitable space in Iceland.It is a small,rocky island with little vegetation,only a few hundred permanent residents,and cliffs teeming with arctic birds known as puffins,which seem insensitive to the local extreme chill as they dive-bomb from high on the rocks into the Arctic Ocean for food. | |
Cuenca,Spain Uniquely known as the walled city because of its"hanging houses"atop (or actually part of) walls carved out of a rocky hillside in the 15th century,Cuenca's castle-like front sits above the Jucar River Valley,attracting visitors worldwide.The houses,which bake in the high summer temperatures,are now home to an abstract art museum reached by crossing a wooden pedestrian swinging bridge. |
