Give Blood

[Caius]

It's a good idea Andres to do such a thing using the Internet power. Of course, I'm still under-age, and I don't want to tell my parents that I do want to give blood. Of course, some person could be needing it, and this goes far than the simple fact of giving blood. We always see in the news people who need blood, and we ignore it. It would be a good idea if we could spread the word to the world, starting for the .org. To change the world start with you.

Gave blood Monday as a matter of fact. Got two free movie tickets and some ice cream.

I'm still under age, but that's one thing I'm definitely going to do on a regular enough basis once I'm an adult. It's one thing the average human being can do to improve the world.

Why would they be against saving lives? Explain that it could be them that need it some time in the future, and then they will understand, for sure.

Some religions don't allow blood transfusions.

I'd like to arrange giving blood sometime soon though.

Good post, Andres.

It's frustrating for me, as I cannot donate blood because of a medical condition, but am reasonably healthy otherwise. 'Tis quite irritating.

Interesting coincidence - the Red Cross just called me while I was writing this to set up my next donation.

Haha, talk about coincidence, I also had something similar today. The Red Cross info people stopped me and asked me if I donate blood while I was on my way to Uni today.

I haven't donated, but I've only been 18 for about 5 months or so. Ironically, my high school had a tradition of holding a mass donation thingy for seniors late in the year, but this last year, they stopped it because they allegedly didn't want people to miss the one day's worth of classes. That got a lot of derisive remarks from the student body, 98% of whom were Catholic, and a lot of whom were puzzled as to why they weren't trying to encourage us to donate something as valuable as blood.

Ok, I will go to the local foundation of the Red Cross and will try to know a little bit.
