I'm going to give blood when I am old enough (17)...its certainly easy to do and helps someone out a lot. O positive can give blood to a few different types. ah i am useful.
besides, what a waste of blood it is when i cut it out of myself. I have no one to give it to.
If i ever needed blood or some sort of internal organ I would be extremely curious as to whose it had been previously. I might even become obsessed with it and stalk whoever it was that I had a peice of inside of me.

dunno about over there but here they have a law that you cannot give blood for a year after you get a tat or a piercing to make sure you havent become horribly deaseased from that big ol' nasty needle.
do vampires own blood banks in this day and age?
opinions atrophing...

All I remember is:
watching the nurse wiggle the needle in my arm to find a vein
Passing out and spilling OJ on my favourite shoes
and the horrible pain in my stomach afterwards. Don't donate while Aunt Flo is in town.

my friend told me a story about someone who received an organ from someone was murdered, and she started having nightmares, which turned out to be from the (experiences?) of the person who was murdered
and they took her to a psychiatrist
and then the police solved the crime, from the details in her nightmares
hmm...

see any bad movies lately?
and, for the record, donating blood is mildly uncomfortable for a short amount of time, and gives you a good feeling afterwards. donating plasma is incredibly unpleasant for at least an hour and makes you feel responsible for the perpetuation of overpriced bath products and like you've just whored out your veins.
two_cents? sure, i got plenty of them.

heh,
piso_mojado,
i don't know about plastination, seems kinda, um, weird and creepy to me, though it must have some positiveness as well. i don't think i'd want my body all displayed like that.
(i think i was thinking more along the lines of m_e / c_f_s research, thinking maybe_someday they'll figure out what was wrong with me. i can imagine some scientistdoctordude poking around my brain saying "ah-ha! that's what her problem was, it really was all in her head!")
i remember in the fourth grade, my teacher got in all these preserved body parts for a science lesson. i got to study the slice of brain, it was interesting, but, i couldn't help but think to myself 'what was this guy thinking?'.

my grandma just had to have a blood transfusion, so i'm glad there are people donating blood.
i used to ride past children's hospital (in vancouver) on the bus when i was a kid, thinking "i can't wait till i'm old enough to donate"
but, well, now i'm old enough, i just wish i was well enough.

Newshost:
Louise UK: What was the motivation that made you think of creating such art?
Professor Gunther von Hagens:
Twenty years as an anatomist at the University of Heidelberg, I pleased the students. But over the weekend I'd get fire-fighters, nurses, first aid workers through our exhibits and I noticed they had a vacuum of knowledge of anatomy. At this time of history, lay people are very knowledgeable about the body. In the media they hear about and read about and get pictures about heart infarction, about smoker's lung but they never see how it looks in reality. This had to be changed and therefore I am here to democratise anatomy.
