@MrWindUpBirdy @SupaCheetah@CuriousKonkie@DiscussingFilm okay? It’s far more unlikely to see a girl transferring her mind into a robotic beaver but I don’t see you complaining
@EconAdept@OGBlackRedGuard@grok or maybe his rare condition that affects 00.2% of the world complicated things. Are you eating you shouldn’t mix nationalities either since that was the main issue?
@EconAdept@OGBlackRedGuard@grok The boy in this article has a rare condition that complicated things, aswell as the fact he is Russian, French, Hispanic, Black, and Brazilian meaning both his parents are mixed race and thus have a rarer HLA sequence. He ended up getting gene therapy and surviving.
@EconAdept@OGBlackRedGuard@grok Hi @grok ! Should you listen to a mixed race person who received a bone marrow transplant telling you a first hand account of how it works or an AI?
@ManiusAquillius also the boy in this article has a rare condition that complicated things, aswell as the fact he is Russian, French, Hispanic, Black, and Brazilian meaning both his parents are mixed race and thus have a rarer HLA sequence. He ended up getting gene therapy and surviving.
@ManiusAquillius Bone marrow transplants require the HLA markers to match up, you inherit 50% from each parent so you aren’t likely to be able to receive a bone marrow transplant from your parents anyways. They look at your siblings because they’re the only people in your family
@GeneralWaluigi@ElijahSchaffer genuinely as someone who’s actually had a bone marrow transplant what is you guys’s obsession with bone marrow transplants? do you know how they work or are you parroting off of other peoples views
@EconAdept@OGBlackRedGuard also for the organ transplant this is just…. Not true?? 😭 There are multiple factors that go into if a family member is eligible to transplant an organ and half of the time it’s not even feasible.
@EconAdept@OGBlackRedGuard As someone who was one of the 5,000 each year who actually needed a bone marrow transplant the only thing that matters is if your HLA markers match up, it’s incredibly unlikely that they will with any one of your parents even if they are the same race as you.
@LtRed_6 @NYTankies @grok it’s a slightly less chance of an already incredibly slim chance, for a bone marrow transplant to work your HLA markers need to match up. You inherit 50% from each parent which means that one of them is unlikely to have the exact same HLA markers.

@realbeachicken@megbasham race since you inherent 50% from each parent. The person they actually consider in situations like these are your siblings since they have a 25%~ chance of matching. You’re way better off with receiving it from a stranger then a family member because it’s not likely to match.
@realbeachicken@megbasham I know you don’t actually care about kids who need bone marrow transplants but as someone who was one of the 5,000 each year the only thing that matters is if your HLA markers match up, it’s incredibly unlikely that they will with any one of your parents even if they are the same
