Yes, of course. I feel everyone should donate blood that is able. It can save lives...who wouldn't want to be a part of that?

I have never donated donated blood. Not because I dont want too but I have never weighed enough to donate blood I think you have to weigh at least 110 pounds.

My sister has this same problem - she's been heavy enough a couple of times and has been able to donate but most of the time they won't let her.

I have never donated blood. People from Blood Bank came in my college but it was not my class during that time. Once my dad was admitted in hospital and doctor called me that I may give blood but didn't give blood that time too. So, so far I haven't given or donated blood to anyone. But I have so much intention of donating my blood and helping others if I can.

Yeah, I donated 4 times already and the latest was a week ago. the pain from the needle is a small price to pay when that blood could save someone's life.

Yes,i have donated my blood for three times.I think it is helpful to others and do no harm to my health.So why not? My blood type is O,and i think it is more useful than othe types. You know,in my country,in some poor regions,some people even sell their blood to make a living.And of course this leads to many diseases.If more healthy people would like to donate their blood,i think the situation will be improved.I am a person who would like to help others on the condition the deed can do no harm to myself.

I've donated blood quite a few times. Filled up the little record card, halfway through my second one. My high school and college did like two to four a year, just to make sure they could schedule everyone in who wanted to donate. It was always really silly of us, but we would donate in the morning, and plan a trip to the bar that night. It was like instantly having 1/5 of your regular tolerance. College.. lol.
