"Due to having cancer in the past I am unable to give blood.
I would f I was allowed to
"
I’m not allowed to either, always try and get people to donate on my behalf when the conversation comes up  |

I used to as I have a rare blood type.
Then they stopped going to my local centre and the only one I can get during the hours they are open is about 15 miles away. Work have been really good about letting me have time off because of an op I had over summer so I just can’t do it anymore.
Wish they made it more convenient as I would go all the time. |

"I just dont want to
Now you could do it for us who can’t   xbut i still wont"
The day may come when you’re depending on a blood donation, the system depends on healthy people donating. It’s quick and painless |

I choose not too. Likewise I would also choose not to receive and it would be divorce grounds if my husband ever went against my wishes on my behalf as I couldn't refuse. Just the thought makes me feel ill. |

I used to give blood but they could never get the full pint out of me. My veins are deep and move around too much. I was retired as a donor after about 12 attempts.
I would definitely still donate if I could. |

No, though my husband's Nan has tried converting me many a time - the idea of eternal farming on my acre of land is not for me I'm afraid. I have a phobia of other peoples blood, my own doesnt bother me, but anyone else's and I come over faint, hot, bothered, nauseous - even my own children with a simple cut lip and I cannot cope. The thought of someone else's blood in my body makes me crawl.
I similarly wouldn't take an organ donation, if my body is massively failing I just consider it will be my time. I can see for others its a wonderful thing and can fully understand those who give and receive its just not for me. |

That's fair enough, I won't ever knock anyone for their personal opinions on subjects like this ... You have to do what you believe in 100% |

"If you're willing to let a little kid die just because you can't be arsed to give something you have a limitless supply of, it weirds md out. "
Nice try, but I am not allowing children to die because of my decision not to donate. I actually fall considerably under the minimum weight required for donors so wouldn't be eligible to even if I wanted too. I would actually be considered overweight which would damaging to my own health if I gained the weight necessary to donate. |

It was wrong for that guy to play the guilt card. Everyone’s preference around donation is perfectly valid and i respect you for choosing not to. |

On a side note once I'm gone I am happy for my organs and anything else to be donated to someone in need. I have no issue with that at all. |

I donate every 4 months. I have a friend who receives regular blood transfusions and she asked all her friends and family to do it for her. Before that it was just one of those things I never found time for.
It's worth it for the biscuit alone! |

I used to be in two minds as well. Part of me wanted to be kept intact, but I figure it could be the difference between someone existing and someone living life.

It was a cheap shot resorting to kids, when there's many adults in need, I suspect the number of adults far outweighs the number of children as we're all living so long.
The minimum weight for donating is 7st 12, I weigh 7st and occasionally I hit a whopping 7st 6 but I do not go beyond that regardless of what or how much I eat. It appears my choice is a pretty mute point as I don't meet the criteria anyway |

My partner and I have donated since we were 17. It used to be when we remembered but since having our second child left me very nearly needing a blood transfusion and my partner having major surgery a few months later we make sure we do it every 4 months now. |
