I hope anyone reading who doesn't donate will at least consider donating.
Even donating once a year is a big help. It's not painful and whole blood
donations are easy. I do apheresis which takes longer as it draws my blood,
separates the contents, keeps the plasma& platelets and then returns the
rest of my blood back to my body. (Spooky!) ;-) Cheers, Mark
I would draw the line at it coming back. If something wasn't cleaned right,
they will find it when they test the blood later. Thing is, if something
wasn't cleaned right, you get it back. I'd just drink a glass of orange
juice. lol

Yeah, that was my concern before I started doing the process it but
it's a very interesting engineering solution to building a closed
system where everything is put in brand new for each donation. It's
this huge package of plastic tubes and hoses which are sealed until
moments before the blood draw so I'm not overly worried, but it's
really easy to understand why others would be, and for those folks
they should just do whole blood donations which only take blood out
and nothing returns. With those it's only a matter of a clean needle.

Well, if they do all that, then I could see how that isn't a problem. I
still sort of like the one clean needle thing tho. I got enough health
issues so I don't need some microscopic critter hitching a ride and
making more problems for me. So, be careful. Keep a eye on them.
Wouldn't want to lose a Gentoo user. ^_^
