Actually, on a related note.. I know a few guys (cousins) who don't donate blood anymore, not because of the organization's policies, but because of who the blood goes to. They're ER doctors who see unit after unit go to lowlife drugdealers, pimps, etc. Kindof a paradox, since they're doctors and they save these guys lives every day. Plus its sobering to think "Who will get my blood? Do they deserve it?"
I am aware of who gets the blood. I can understand where they're coming from, but I'm still working on my fourth gallon (just not to Red Cross).
Not to knock the Drs., but I work in emergency services, and it's just not my gut reaction to decide whether or not someone deserves to be saved. I frequently thank God that I've never gotten half of what I deserve.
However, depending upon the ER, and where you are, I understand people giving up on it. I came close after visiting a third world country.
