Man with the golden arm

This is not some fantasy where you will find a man with an arm made of gold, but this man, James Harrison, is a man with superpowers.

He saved the lives of 2.4 million babies after giving blood almost every week for sixty years. It is not just any blood, his blood has unique disease-fighting antibodies.

He was awarded the Order of Australia in 1999.

He discovered about this unique feature of his blood when he had a lung removed, he was 14. It is believed to have been created due to the transfusions after operations.
