    I have recently been learning about DNA testing and such, and I know there are four basic blood groups (A, B, AB and O) but can anyone explain why some people, such as myself, can be positive or negative? I am B negative and just wonder what the negative means?

    Why is a person with O negative blood considered a universal donor, but can only receive O negative blood? How rare is O negative?

    A word that we now use in a negative and perhaps dismissively "categorizing" sense was invented by an 18th-century-born man to refer to something involved with a revolutionary technology devised in the West along about the mid-15th century. The modern understanding is associated with a famous U.S. political journalist. What is the word, who was the journalist, and what other, somewhat negative word also started out as a technical term in the field in question?
