Jaggers "does not recall ABO [blood] typing being discussed," but CDS begs to differ: "We called Duke, and gave Duke the donor blood type and other information from New England," CDS president Lloyd Jordan told NEWSWEEK. This was all unfolding against the backdrop of a malpractice-insurance crisis that has led to doctors 'strikes in several states, and proposals by President George W. Bush, among others, to set strict limits on what juries could award for "noneconomic" losses -- victims' pain and suffering or the survivors 'loss of companionship.

The contradiction with previous reports that depicted Basques as genetic outliers can be resolved if we consider that the polymorphisms accounting for most of this differentiation lie in genes such as ABO, RH, and the HLA complex that are, given their involvement in host-pathogen interactions, obvious targets for natural selection in the ancestral populations even at a microgeographic scale.
