A member asked:

If you have a blood of o+, will it be a lot harder to find a lung donor?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably not.: Lung donors should be ABO compatible with the recipient. An o-positive recipient can get blood or an organ from o positive or o negative donors, which would mean about 40% of people could donate. The most common ABO blood group is a, with o the next most common. Rh negative people are about 15% of the us population, with 85% rh positive.
