Yes. I do it once a year, but I know I should be doing it more frequently

wildbill83 · 41-45, M

Yep, I quit doing it after finding out that the red cross turns around and sells it to china for profit...

Nitedoc · 51-55, M

@wildbill83 I wasn't going to say anything, but you're right. People donate blood because they are told it helps those who need it. That's true, but the Red Cross is a for profit business. You give them your blood for free and they sell it for an unbelievable profit.

wildbill83 · 41-45, M

@Nitedoc they all do it; you donate to a hospital because they say they need it...

but if you need a transfusion, they charge you thousands of dollars for it...

nothing charitable about it anymore

Nitedoc · 51-55, M

@wildbill83 I know. It should be exposed for what it is. It's a slippery slope though. We don't want blood supplies to drop down to critical levels but the profit margin is just unbelievable.

BohemianBabe · M

It's a scam, all that blood goes to vampires.

sree251 · 41-45, M

Never. It's not your blood. It is the body's blood. Donating blood is unnatural and akin to excessive bleeding when the body suffers an injury that drains blood from the body. It may not kill the body; nevertheless, it is a trauma that the body is subjected to.

@sree251 science much?

sree251 · 41-45, M

@Offthetop It has nothing to do with science. Science even tells you to give up a kidney for a good cause. You don't have anything. What you donate belongs to the body. How would you like to have half your life savings donated by the US Government to humanitarian aid in Gaza?

cotheo · 56-60, M

More than 80 times

Futuremirror · M

A couple times. Both times I got sick the week after. The 2nd time I almost passed out during.
A third time I couldn't because my iron was too low.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

Never. I read that I'm not supposed to because I smoke a lot of weed but I've known drug addicts who donated often so I suppose I still can. I just don't though
