"Sir,would you like to donate blood.Its a good thing to do.It may save a life."
How many times we came across a blood donation drive and how many times do we actually donated our blood? Usually we could see these blood donation drives in malls and in Lrt stations such as Kl sentral. Its easy to spot these blood donation drives as most of the people around it are nurses or doctors and of course there are beds and refreshments.
Why don't we donate? Some say they are scared of kena infection,some say that its not important,the worst excuse is,"why shuld I donate? The blood isn't for my kin or for me to use,so what's the point?"
Blood donation is important cos blood can't be stored for a long time,the maximum time that we could store blood is a week and the donated blood is used for treating those who had blood loss,this includes those who are being operated or trauma cases.
Just imagine if a family member or a lover need blood tranfussion but the hospital don't have enuff blood for him and the worst case scenario,his blood is a rare type,let's say his blood is Bombay Blood and he died caused of lack of blood. He could be saved if an idiot stopped giving excuses and donated blood.Now imagine how those people whose relatives or lovers died cos there's not enuff blood.Just because someone was being selfish. Do you want to be that someone who was selfish,who didn't stopped and gave a pint,just a pint ( 500 ml) of blood.
The requirements of a blood donor is minimal. The donor must be free of diseases that can be transmitted via blood,of legal age,healthy and not underweight.
Please donate blood when u see a blood drive near.Don't give stupid excuses to avoid donating. You may need it one day.

It is good to donate blood.. But homosexual is not allowed to do so. so even if they want, they can't... But those who can, pls do so...
Yes,pls donate ur blood
i donated three times. The thing is, before you donate your blood, you have to fill in a form. One of the questions is "have you ever has sex with the same sex"?
i think i had to lie three times. But actually, it is very important. we may get sued for donating a "dirty" blood. So yea, maybe have your blood screened first before donating. Whenever someone come over and asked for blood donating, i would jokingly say,"Sorry Im gay".
passer by...cheers!
however the moment you have engaged any sexual activities with the same sex, you are not allowed to donate blood even you are screened to be HIV positive. maybe they can have a GAY BLOOD BANK so we could each other.. hmmmm....
I donated many times coz I wanted to get rid of the old devil blood inside me! LOL
