Rh minus blood can be given to anyone. It cannot be identified as foreign because it has no antigen. But if Rh+ blood is given to an Rh- patient, the patient's immune system would attack the Rh+ blood because it does not recognize the antigen.

Explanation:
Individuals who are homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous (Dd) are Rh+. Those who are homozygous recessive (dd) are Rh- (i.e., they do not have the key Rh antigens). Clinically, the Rh factor, like ABO factors, can lead to serious medical complications.
