Who here on-line are regular blood donors and why? or why not?

Question

I'm due for my third donation (out of a possible 4) this year in a few weeks, having been a "regular" for over 5 years.

I think that if people are eligible to do it, what's stopping them. It's not a hard thing to do & you get a drink and a snack at the end of it.

Answer 1

I've never donated blood, and I don't plan to. It's against my religious beliefs.

Answer 2

I refuse to donate my organs or blood to anyone. First of all I am a universal donor so that makes my organs a hot commodity in the eyes of sick western medicinal doctors who seem to be very willing to slice people open and promote blood transfusions by the minute. Firstly donating my organs after I die: I can't help but to think about all those rich alcoholic diabetic a-holes who seem to have a constant supply of livers to go through simly becuase they can afford it. How about those people who didn't chose to abuse their bodies to the point that certain organs don't work. And if one is failing it isn't going to be long before other organs start failing then these same people are going to need several other people to die so that they can get all their organs replaced with ones from poor people who tried to take care of their bodies. Lets see more poor people get educated on how to make their organs last longer, so that they don't have to worry about everyone donating blood for surgeries and organ replacements. NO one in my family has ever needed any organs except for fast food junkies and alcoholics, and then it is their own d**n fault for continuing on with life as if their organs are made out of steel.

Can you tell I have very little compassion for those who get themselves into trouble then have to mooch off of the generosity of others to so they they can continue to live a toxic life, and feed into a medical system that is sorely flawed and vampirish.
