    I like seeing my blood, I don't have a problem with needles, they don't hurt that much
    I would love to be happy, but unfortunately I'm too busy being awesome and kicking your ass at everything

    Oh please tell everyone in the medical profession this well keep secret of hospitals. Do you really think that if there was a substitute that hospitals would still ask for people to give blood? You can give someone crystalloids (saline solution or something) to keep their blood volume at the right levels but crystalloids won’t be any use when you loss all your blood and it is the only thing circulating. Salts ability to carry oxygen to aerobic cells isn't exactly that great. Soon they would become hypoxic and then you would die if you don't get a blood transfusion.

    Blood is in constant demand and there won’t be a substitute till they work out how to genetically manufacture it. Go and give blood now if you are of age.

    I give blood to answer the question of the thread.

    Nope, never have, never will (hehe, I know this one’s going to come back and bite me in the arse some day…)

    P.S is it just me, or is the title of this thread a little….

    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I put no, but only because I am not old enough to donate blood.

    There was this bus that came to my college sometime last year that took blood donations. I was busy that day so I never go the chance to. Some doctors tell me I'm anaemic, though, so dunno if I'm allowed to.

    I've given blood three or four times through drives held at my high school, and the needles are about the size of a pencil lead, so it doesn't take very long to get all the blood they need. After that, it's free donuts and juice.

    A much better alternative to class: I win, patients win, everyone wins. I've got O- blood, so I like to share it.

    What is the weight limit?

    I'm not old enough to give blood, and needles scare me.

    Just put weights in your pockets or eat lots before you go, that'll fix the weight limit problem.

    I've only given once, when we had a blood drive at my high school. I got a pink arm bandage! Woot!

    I should go give regularily, but I'm lazy of course.
