Funny. I can’t give blood because I was stationed in Germany during the 80s. Never thought it was a civil rights issue.

My sister and her children can’t give blood because they once lived in Scotland.

Mad cow would have killed us both by now if we would have gotten it. But we still cant donate. They are idiots.

3 decades of AB- donations that would have come from me. Cie la vie.

Good point.

I'm a regular blood donor-in fact, I'm a member of The Gallon Club-so I'm familiar with all of the restrictions, a lot of them simply targeting people who travel abroad pretty frequently, i.e. not directly related to blood-born illnesses or diseases.
