# One of the world’s most prolific blood donors, whose plasma saved the lives of more than two-million babies, has died. The 88-year-old James Harrison died in his sleep and is known as the man with the golden arm. Harrison’s blood contained a rare antibody, Anti-D, which is used to make medication given to pregnant mothers whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies. The Australian Red Cross Blood Service said he started donating his blood plasma at 18 and did so every two weeks until he was 81.
