Re: Give Blood
[ QUOTE ]
I'd also like to encourage everyone to sign up for the bone marrow registry. Of course, this is a much, much bigger decision than giving some blood - because if you are a match for a recipient, you will be asked to undergo a pretty serious operation. But you have the potential to actually save someone's life in the most literal sense. And no - there will be no compensation other than knowing that you alone helped someone live. If that's not motivation enough, I don't know what is.

it obviously isn't motivation enough. it can be empirically confirmed that there is a shortage of bone marrow as well as other tissues, organs, etc.
real humanitarians would be campaigning for a free market, or at least a regulated market for blood/organs/tissues which would greatly increase their supply.
