as we all know,donating blood is our obligation as a citizen,and actually it does no harm to our health to donate approaprite amount of blood.but the problem is,sometimes there is a danger of contagious of diseases.in fact,I ever wanted to donate blood,but because I am too thin,then they did not let me donate.compared with the benefit and bad effect,what will you do?

"as we all know,donating blood is our obligation as a citizen" I'm sorry but the ONLY people I'm "obligated" to donate my blood to is my children..and yes I have 3 times when my son was alive because he needed it within days of his birth and again later on..

Yes, I have, and it was the most unpleasant experience for me, especially as the line laid on my hand and had a very funny and unpleasant sensation. I would like to donate blood in the future for someone in need, but I guess I would first have to overcome that unpleasant sensation.

I have donated blood in the past. But, I am not able to any longer because I am anemic.

Yes. I am a regular donor. I donate blood once every 3 months. Donating blood is a good thing. We are actually saving lives. Medical facilities are good in my nation. We have good hygiene too. Chances of contracting contagious disease should be low. By the way, I am going for my 9th donation soon. =D
