This is a class act piece of work. The real thinkers in this world are onto something big. The combination of these efforts will be historic. Harvard has done us a good one with this paper published a couple years ago.
A great quote:
"the idea that the missionaries were acting to “save” these
children justified the damage they would have caused to the children and
their families. In this way, the Silsby case offers a window into international
and domestic child placement schemes that disrupt poor families and
disregard traditional forms of child placement"

Did this happen in Yugoslavia?
MAGABoomer ago
This happened in Spain on a fairly large scale and just came to light last year I believe. Uncertain of Yugo, but wherever any "church" is, expect this issue. They believe they know best. Hundreds of babies were stolen from mothers the "church" decided were unworthy and given to other families. To this day I have no idea where a great uncle came from. He was literally handed to my ggramma in the hospital and told he was her child now. (She had several still births)...no one has a clue where they got this baby. It was a catholic hospital.

Both ethnic groups of Spain and Yugoslavia are rh-. Good for organ trafficking too.

That's a whole bloodline asshattery that is a conspiracy about a conspiracy that isn't a conspiracy but an evolutionary handicap. In Spain it is typically the Basque who carry the RH-. Rh- is used by people as some sort of specialness gene. It's not, it's actually an evolutionary stop-gap that we have by passed with modern medicine. Once that mutation shows up in a family group over time that family group will die completely out UNLESS...they breed with each other. Otherwise Rh- is a death sentence. Literally..for both mother and child.
If the apocalypse came and survival were an issue, literally Rh- would die completely out UNLESS they interbred. it's not an asset, it's a survival handicap. I was studying one European family that has a lot of Rh- showing up now. It's easy to pinpoint when the family started to thrive. It's when they figured out, likely by accident and subconsciously that their offspring lived, their families grew...when they married a close relative. Now they can survive with a rogram shot. If you've ever known an rh- woman you know she is an literally an abortion machine without that shot. (UNLESS she breeds with another Rh- person.) It's also very hard on the mother. I have a friend who, when her BC fails she lets her body kill it off and dispose of it rather than get the shot but it is very hard on her physically and I keep telling her to get a more reliable BC because it's not helping her health to keep getting pregnant with what is essentially poison to her body.

Fucking shifty way to try to discredit the notion that rh- organ donors are valuable because the ability to use the organs any person with any blood type. Thinking that this is about the perfect race is conspiracy but the harvest of organs from rh- people has scientific backing. @MEGABoomer are you implying that rh- blood has nothing to do with organ trafficking? If that is the case your fucking stupid
MAGABoomer ago
No I'm saying RH- blood has zero to do with some fuckard bloodline theory. Rh- negative organs would be rarer and of course more in demand. But the whole fucktard "RH- is special" shit is flat out asshattery and fucking stupid. It's not special re-powers or bloodlines, it is in FACT (you know, facts, scientific FACTS) that having Rh- blood is NOT conducive to survival. PERIOD. It's a genetic fuck up, there are probably fewer organs available for Rh- so yeah, there is probably higher trafficking for those people who have RH- and need a transplant and have the money to pay for it.
If you're trying to push the OMG Rh- so spechial...fuck off. It's literally a genetic detriment and without modern medicine those people who are not married to relatives do NOT have children who survive. Fact. Not some stupid ass conspiracy.
Science, catch the fuck UP

The Rh antigen does not function as a "transplantation antigen," because it is only present on the surface of red blood cells and not on the parenchymal cells of the graft. Patients who have type AB blood are considered universal recipients because they can receive blood or blood products from any other blood type. However, these patients may only donate their blood to patients who have AB blood. Patients who have O blood are considered the universal donors because they can give blood to patients of any other blood type. However, they can only receive blood from patients who have O blood. If the D antigen is absent, the patient is Rh-negative. Therefore, if you are Rh - you are a universal donor. Read the link you provided . http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/blood-transfusion/expert-answers/universal-blood-donor-type/faq-20058229
Here is some more in depth analysis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1852383/ Further, we can talk about the Bombay phenotype present in about 0.0004% of the population - people with the least amount of D antigens include the Basque people, from Spain or even from the ethnic groups in the former Yugoslavia.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3862596/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49787393_Distribution_of_weak_D_types_in_Croatian_population I am saying that these fucks are targeting ethnic minorities to exploit the rh- universal donor characteristic of the rh- blood having no antigens. Further bolstering the benefits of individuals who have rh - blood they have higher concentrations of ceruloplasmin in their blood. This notion does not jive with your bold claim "It's a genetic fuck up" as ceruloplasmin deficiency is actually a problem. http://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/38527612/2011_LopezdeRomana_JTEMB_CuReview.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1485905997&Signature=12WZzWiRIjL5gXMWPDmPyw8X%2BZI%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DRisks_and_benefits_of_copper_in_light_of.pdf
Shut the fuck up if you don't know what your talking about.

Oh lawd. It's a genetic fuck up. The Law of Nature..survival of the fittest. If this group of people had not figured out that interbreeding helped their kids live and the family lines to survive, they literally would have died out. It's an aberration that people who have it say " I so special" no, it's luck. It is impossible for the Rh- to be a "fittest gene" as they are only able to reproduce offspring AND survive amongst themselves.
Rh- are often immune to things like AIDS but they're immune to AIDS because they have other disorders. Look, you can dance around the special ring all day long and it's never going to be anything more than a dance. The reason there are so many rh- people on this earth right now is because ROGAM. Not because it's a fit gene of survival. Fittest can reproduce with ANYthing.
I have no doubt that targeting ethnic minorities is useful. Look at how many people Bayer/Baxter killed in Croatia? with their faulty vaccine. But fuck if I'm not sick of reading RH- gives me special powers....dude if it were 1900 you wouldn't be here unless your mom married another RH- by LUCK or a family member. Also rushing to Internet research something you BELIEVE but not really KNOWing or understanding the issue at hand isn't helping your case.
In reality rh- has proven not to be the universal donor they thought it was. Strong genes need neither transplants or any machinations to carry the line. Strong genes survive. We have created, via c-section for instance, the SURETY that thousands of women will indeed die in childbirth because we have depended on C-section interventions for women with inadequate pelvises who would have normally died, in childbirth with their child. Our c-section interventions have allowed those mothers to live and pass that gene on to their children. Nature would have taken that gene out had we not intervened. Thus, without c-section technology THOUSANDS of women who unknowingly carry the inadequate pelvis gene are literally going to die. Talk about Children of Men.
So imagine if you will..the apocalypse is here.
Who is going to survive? The fittest. That's nature.That's what humans have been running from. It's what we don't want to believe is true. Without technology the Law of Nature, not natural law...is what dictates who lives and dies. That's all, there's no other magic, it is what it is. Rh- would be minimal in the population without technological interventions because it is a genetic fuckup. If aliens gave it to you...so fucking what, again, without technology, they die. That's all.

All donkeys possess the red blood cell antigen known as donkey factor. http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vmth/local_resources/pdfs/lab_pdfs/UC_Davis_VMTH_Equine_Neonatal_Isoerythrolysis_NI_Info.pdf

Thanks for the donkey factor. This isn't going to help Rh- people survive if there is no access to rogam. Rh- is not a "survival of the fittest" gene. That's all.
jangles ago
I was calling you an ass (donkey factor). Your unsubstantiated bias and lack of education are apparent in your rhetoric.
MAGABoomer ago
No, ..what it is...is "the truth hurts the Rh- is special snowflakes" and I tend to ignore stupid. Look you can't fix it, it will kill you without modern technology. Now, explain to me how that statement is incorrect? In a low/zero tech world, rh- is NOT survival. It just isn't. Sorry.
jangles ago
Unless rh negative is more resistant to some killer virus, oh wait you pointed that out. You don't understand evolution either, survival. not necessarily fittest. why does dyncorp research Aids and rh - antigens.
