Everyone should donate blood, if they are able, obviously ther are a few people who are not able to donate, so the rest of us should step up for them.! About 5 years ago, I needed an operation which then required me to receive four units of blood. Only 3 were available in the entire hospital, which meant I took a lot longer to recover. This is the easiest thing to donate, and costs you nothing, just an hour of your time, every three months. Can you think of a reason why you should not donate??

I have donated blood a few times, and as much as i hate needles, doctors and all those kinds of things its such a great feeling when its done that your helping someone. The only reason i can think of to not donate blood is if you now your not well. People who are sick or easily get sick i dont think should donate as id hate to think what could be passed on to the poor person waiting for a blood donation. would be horrible to end up ever sicker than originally because of the blood those people donated
other than that everyone should do it, if your healthy and fit especially! what do you have to loose?
