	This question was asked me during a recent blood drive here.

	In the U.S. the frequency for various blood types is 
	O = 46%, A= 42%, B = 9%, AB=3% 

	However in Japan, I know that Type B is actually in the majority.
Does anyone have the exact figures, not just on the U.S. and Japan, but
worldwide by race.

	Mail me, or if you decide to post, post only to net.med (not 
both .med and .sci - to avoid duplication.)
