When I was in school I did. Reason to get out of class and get a cookie. I haven't been able to for the last 10 or so years due to various reasons (drug use, tattoo).

No, I'm 1 year too young. I've had my blood taken a ton of times though. I might or might not, I'm not even sure if I can anyways.
Then it's not really a donation anymore, is it?ebug9 wrote:
Don't people in the US get paid to donate blood?
Answer is no, but I believe you can get paid for giving sperm, eggs, plasma, and bone marrow.
"I have not donated blood, but plan to in the future"
I donated to the grass if that counts
in all seriousness, no but might I've got O-

I've donated. It's great, I love doing it. I must've donated at least 5 to 7 times already. But the last year or I've been missing out and have got lazy I should be up to 10 by now. I really like it because it's so easy. I never feel faint, I don't get all freaked out (heck, I watch them stick the needle in me!), and it only takes me literally 5 minutes to pump out a bag.
I'm O+, which is a good source for blood and plasma donation (I haven't given plasma yet, though).

Thats the reason why I do not donate is that I have O-. The people with the most valuable blood type should be paid.CoronadoSEAL wrote:

I was going to donate for my school, but I went to Mexico.. so I couldn't donate for like a year. Next time my school does it, I will donate
I donated plasma for beer money when I was younger. You could donate plasma up to 3 times a week.

I'm not allowed to because of Gulf War I.
Nope, but I probably will.
Plasma's also nice because you get paid. I also agree with #1 Spot... it's AB Positive that's the rarest right?
As for donating sperm, you have to have fucking Spartan genetics or they won't bother getting your jizz.

Q I've just had a tattoo and am dismayed that I can't donate for 6 months. Why? My tattooist is registered with the local council and new needles were used.haffeysucks wrote:

A There is always an infection risk whenever the skin is pierced, and tattooing means lots of piercing. Acupuncturists and other therapists who are members of professional organisations that are approved by the NBS are permitted to issue their clients/patients with certificates showing that the body piercing has been carried out under approved conditions and is free of the risk of infection. As yet, there is no professional organisation that will do this for tattooists. You MUST tell us if you have had ear piercing, body piercing or tattooing, or have had acupuncture outside of the NHS between 6 and 12 months ago as your donation will need an additional blood test.

I've always wanted to, but I haven't yet. Too lazy to go down to one of those blood drives.
ironic when you need the blood other people might be too lazy to go down to one of those blood drives.GuliblGuy wrote:

I hate needles but i still plan to do it when they next come to my 6th form. Really hate needles though i imagine i'd hate needing blood and not being able to have any even more so.
Thanks! Now I feel great!CoronadoSEAL wrote:

My Dad's friend fought in Vietnam. They won't let him give blood cause he was exposed to Agent Orange while he was there.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Dont know if i can, will have to read...But i sure will as soon as i can...and if i can get money for plasma...youll see me there all the time.
Only 3 or 4 times but donated plasma countless times. In Vienna its 20€ per donation plus 40 for every 5th time and bonus for every new "member" you bring. I used to do do it 5 times per month for nice 140€ for quite some time but I dont do it any more out of lazyness
