The daughter of an old friend stayed with us for a few months recently. I learned a lot from her. She told me that in high school the students were given special credit or something if they donated blood. She may have been 13 or 14, and only weighed 90-95 pounds, and almost fainted or did faint after donating blood, other kids felt weak too. But they were lauded as doing good for the community and all that.
I told her about using “young blood” for older people and that they spend a lot of money buying it. She figured they probably sold the teenage blood for big money. She said the kids in school were seriously pressured to give blood.
Hrmmmmm, what was it said about Red Cross?
