The sentence stating all Ark residents to be universal donors is completely false, unless it was retconned but they NEVER mention it to be so in the series and it's not listed in these references. In the season 2 episode where the Arkers and Grounders are basically picking up what's left of -Ton DC(while be pecked at by a sniper) Abby calls at the very end for "A neg" A- blood for Marcus Kane. And in the first or second episode of the first season she also calls out for blood of Jaha's type, which I believe I recall to be A+, though I don't have the episode available to watch right now. Even if there are only A+ and A- people, A+ people can't give to A- people, so you already lose the "universal donor" theory. I had the thought that perhaps whoever wrote that presumed that they had to be universal donors in order to be compatible with the people who would be receiving their blood and bone marrow in Mount Weather. With the blood, I presumed that they simply labeled all the "harvested" people for their blood types and matched them up with the appropriate recipient types. For the bone marrow, it wouldn't matter entirely what the recipient's blood type was because it would slowly be replaced by the donor's bloodtype anyway, and a chimerization would likely occur between the two, so no conflicts of antigens. With that said, I'm not sure if I should just change that paragraph myself or what I should do to show the references I've mentioned. Thanks for any info.
