9. James Christopher Harrison (12/27/36 - 2/17/2025) was an Australian blood plasma donor who is credited with saving the lives of 2 million babies. In 1951, at the age of 14, he underwent major chest surgery that required a large amount of donated blood. Despite his fear of needles, he made a pledge to give back by donating blood as soon as he reached the required age of 18. After his first few donations, it was discovered that his blood contained unusually strong and persistent antibodies that, when processed, could provide life-saving protection against Rh disease in the fetus and new-born babies. Over 57 years Harrison donated his plasma an average of every three weeks. On May 11, 2018 he made his 1,173rd and final donation, in compliance with Australian policy prohibiting blood donations from those past the age of 81. Harrison's dedication may have saved the life of his first grandson, when his own daughter Tracey received injections of her father's antibodies during her pregnancy.
