Most of the friends that i have (you included?) gave excuses when being asked to donate blood. They start saying this and that for me is not true at all;
When being asked if they should apply a little tranquilizer to the injection point or not during the process by the nice lady in charge of me, my answer has always been no.
They can afford disposable stuff, so leave your worries behind. Until they think spending RM400-RM700 for each donor during plasma and platlet transfusion is expensive and start reusing their stuff, then you’re out of luck.
I’m a frequent donor (as frequent as twice a month, as I’m an apheresis donor) and hey, look at me!
You’re a qualified donor just by weighting 48kg and above
Most of us won’t think of things till it hit them in their heads. People around us are needing blood, and you or your loved ones might be next. Be pro-active, donate blood today.

Yeah, chicken don’t donate blood, but just being a donor doesn’t make a person a man neither. In the other hand, chicken are not allowed to donate blood now due to the widespreading avian influenza (H5N1) virus.
