So why not have them donate blood? Heaven knows that the Red Cross and other
blood suppliers are going nutz, trying to find donors for bothe blood and
blood solids (ie, platelets, blood cells, etc.) Help themselves and the rest
of humanity, in one swell foop.

I've been donating since I was 18, gave my first gallon by the time I was
21, and had to cut back because that frequent a donation dropped my BP too
far. Hasn't anyone heard of recycling?
