I'm sorry to sound harsh, but quite frankly, I never knew true hate until I met those people.

Of course. Even if the person is someone on your Most Hated, how could you deny someone life over personal feelings?

Then you should be the stronger one and be above that hatred. Nothing good comes from keeping negative feelings alive no matter what the reason. :)

I would definently do it. It is such a simpple process so it would not bother me. Now if you asked for some bone marrow or a kidney or something... I will probably have to think about that one. I know it sounds mean but regardless of how "everyday" or "ordinary" a procedure is, anytime you go under the knife or are under anthestia you put your life at risk and I have children to raise.

Yeah, I would. Even if I disliked them and they disliked me....it is still the humane thing to do. Also, despite how I might feel about them, they are the ones who gave like to precious hubby!! Sadly, I never got to meet hubby's mom, she had already passed when we married and his father passed a few years later. His father was a wonderful man and we got along splendidly!

Yaa you are right. As its a noble cause, i would definately give anyone who needs it as goodwill gesture. There are many benefits donating blood socially as well as physically also. Donating blood may reduce the risk of heart disease for men and stimulate the generation of red blood cells. In patients prone to iron overload, blood donation prevents the accumulation of iron. The amount of toxic chemicals circulating in the blood stream is reduced by the amount contained in given blood. You could save someone's precious life! Blood is a medicine that can only be given from one person to another - no other source is currently available. Volunteer blood donors are needed on a daily basis to give blood for the thousands of patients who need it. So always help by donating blood.

Probably not... I am too physically spent with my daily work, I may just go out like a candle if I do that on top of not sleeping well.

Just kidding. Probably a diplomatic way is to remove yourself thousands of miles away from all the negative relatives, so that it becomes uneconomical to have you as source. There has to be someone closer by. Anyway, I do not really have this kind of problem. : Just scenario-building.
Then, of course, I am not in your shoes - nor is any one else - so it really is difficult to say what you should do - or not do, within the context of that relationship. In short, I don't have the right to pass judgement on whatever action you choose to take, or on what kind of person your in-law is. Look deep in your heart, pray, and be true! :

Yes of course, Even i hate it, but they need my help. And i thinks that's way to realize that although you hate the person, but in times they need your help your always their to help them and to forgive them also on what they did to you. Because its to hard to live that your anger in a one person are still.

I personally would just because I would have a guilty conscience knowing that I could have done something helpful and I didn't. (even though I hated her) It's always better to help those in need even if they are your enemy.

If someone needed my blood, whether it be in-laws or not, I'd give it. If there is something I can do to help the health of another person, I'm more than willing to do it. In the situation where you might dislike the person, I think you just put that aside and offer your assistance. You don't have to be in the same room with them, you can go, give your blood and leave and then they can do what they want with it. But yes, I'd say if you're contemplating it, you should definitely do what you can.

Ya I will surely donate as i would give preference to the need of the person..as there can be several other ways to remove your hatred..By NOT donating blood & ignoring the need of the situation, might make me HATE MYSELF...

of course. i would donate blood for anyone, regardless of my opinion. i do that whenever i donate anyway-- i have no say in who gets the blood that i give.
also, even though you may dislike the person, he or she means a lot to someone you care about. how would it make that person feel if you chose not to help? my husband would never feel the same about me if i made the decision not to help his mother/father/brother/sister/etc.
