    he had leukemia, and i signed up to donate spinal marrow for him.

    if you had actually donated bone marrow, you would know that’s not how this works.

        That sounds quite different. Wording matters, especially in times of bot posts and clout posts.

        Also, no one signs up to be tested for a match with a specific person, not at those odds. So your new wording still doesn’t reflect how typisation (not sure about that word) is done.

          The hell you on about? People do that all the time.

          I’m part of a big group now that is in a pool doctors all over the US can check to see if they can find a match for people, because a friend of mine died from leukemia a long time ago. They couldn’t find a match for him, but maybe I can match with someone else someday.

          BTW, gonna shamelessly plug NMDP. They do good work.
