im going to say whats been said before.
this is friggin' stupid and we all know it. some of the regulations they have for giving blood are ludicrous.
I remember i tried to give blood in highschool. they turned me down because i was 16. I remember how badly it pissed me off. i walked away thinking "What does age have anything to do with it!?! i want a goddamn juice and cookie!"
yeah, i know. i was pissed off for the wrong reason, but still... If your clean, you should be able to donate. its as simple as that.
