Do any States accept blood from Canada in case we get really low?
What exactly is the harm with not being able to give blood?
You can’t get in on that sweet, sweet OJ and cookie action?
As is said and to carry it further declare ones own willingness to have such a transfusion. The bottom line is that the authorities have more than enough reserves of blood from non-homosexuals to use.
Once again these people cried out for the right do what they do,behind closed doors. This was granted.
A sick mentality exists with certain of them. Drunk with their own power in a frightened and politically correct atmosphere. I have no brief against someone getting on with THEIR own lives. Just leave the rest of us alone.
Yeah, I have wondered that, myself- I was also in Europe. I feel bad, but then I can just delete the blood drive emails that come through at work without thinking. I didn't know that was supposed to make me want to sue someone.
I started donating blood during the 80s when they asked for extra donations due to a traffic accident involving a fellow Airman at Barksdale AFB. I dontated reglarly for about 15 years. When I returned from Germany, I learned I could no longer donate due to the risk of CJD (aka “Mad Cow”).
My point is, I understand that there is too much risk involved in using my blood. I don’t feel some inaliable right to put recipients in harms way.
And yes, I miss the cookies.
Canada Blood Services should not be made to accept blood from homosexuals unless they can charge a fee to cover the cost of disposing of biohazard materials. Not that those fees will be very much: they will probably put in Michigan dumps. Jeni Antoinette, the gift that keeps on giving.
Why not allow people with HIV, Hep-C, etc. to donate blood. However, that blood could only be transfused into people who were ALREADY INFECTED with HIV, Hep-C, etc. It would have the additional advantage of increasing the supply of uncontaminated blood for uncontaminated people. We already classify blood for type [A, B, AB, O] and Rh, so this would just be another sub-classification.
You want to put infected blood into the system? Screw ups happen. Even if you clearly marked the packaging, I see a tragedy waiting to happen. Add in government run health care and it would be like playing russian roulette with a 1911.
Ditto...screwups happen all of the time!!
Secondly, that’s a bio-hazard...you don’t want that infected stuff just laying around...
Ping.
onwards! rump wranglers!
FINE! Let them donate and just incinerate it.
Thanks for the ping, fanfan
Bloodhounds ping
Donating blood isn’t a right.
You do have a good point, especially with the government wanting to run healthcare. Even with over two hundred years of previous experience, they often deliver mail to the wrong address.
Thanks for the ping!
As outrageous as that sounds, that is exactly their motive. They want AIDS to be "everyone's problem" as they frequently advertise, so that more research funding for a cure will be supplied by taxpayers, and so that they can salve what consciences they have left with the idea that normal people are also infected. Anything to avoid culpability.
