James Harrison
1938 –

When I researched James Harrison, my results yielded a football player. The NFL’s most heavily-fined-player-in-a-single-season football player. After digging through past articles about “the concussion-machine” I found the “Man with the golden arm” and it didn’t involve football.
The other James Harrison has magical blood. His blood contains an extremely rare enzyme that can be used to treat babies dying of Rhesus disease, a form of severe anemia. Since he was 18 years old, his life-saving blood has saved over 2.2 million babies around the world. James Harrison is 75 years old.
