I find myself reading the not-news sections more and more. you know, with cute animal pics...

and things like a 84 year old in Australia finally retired from donating blood after donating for 60 something years and bla....well here you go:

Along the way, medical professionals made a stunning discovery: Mr. Harrison’s blood contained a rare antibody necessary to make a pioneering medication that officials at the Australian Red Cross Blood Service said had helped save more than two million babies from a potentially fatal disease.

They said more than three million doses of Anti-D, as the medication containing Mr. Harrison’s blood is called, have been issued to mothers since 1967.
for whatever reason reading something like that makes me... happy? that people like that exist, in the flood of shit-news, I want to read something like that.
