A single blood donation has the potential to save as many as 4 lives. Do you donate? How many times have you?

Question

No matter where you are across the globe, blood is always an invaluable commodity. I'm at donation 208. Please tell me if your share this interest in saving lives.

Answer 1

Yes I donate and have been doing it for 32 years.

Answer 2

I'll happily donate once they stop having discriminatory rules. If you have had g*y s*x since the 1970's, you can't donate. Because all g*y people have AIDS.

What the h**l?

Answer 3

I donate blood religiously.  I'm 18 years old, and will have my gallon donor keychain next week!  :D

Answer 4

Before they changed the restrictions, I used to donate 4 times a year. After I went overseas for my 1st tour they told me I had to wait. Now that things have become even more stringent, I have to wait 5 more years before I can donate.  I retired in 1993. Strange how things work.

Answer 5

i wish i could. my blood is very different from others. not blood type wise or HIV wise. i dont have any of that. but i really wish i could.

Answer 6

I've only donated once.  I do remember it was a really positive experience.

Answer 7

Yikes!  I can finally donate!  I was rejected last year because I went to certain parts of Costa Rica.  I almost wanted to cry because it was like getting fired.  The nurse patted me on the back and said "see ya next year".  Then Simon Cowell told me that I should've researched the disease situation there ahead of time.  If I wasn't so careless in picking my destination I'd still be on stage, er donating.

But hey!  I can go donate now.  Thanks for reminding me!!!!!

p.s.  You know what's also sad?  I have moved around constantly.  I keep getting new donor cards because I donate in different districts.  It's hard to get those gallons when you get a new card every time you move.
