Recently, there has been a genuine shortage of blood, platelets, and plasma ever since the COVID-19 pandemic. This has caused people to have to delay life-saving emergencies. This is a genuine shortage where people’s lives are being affected by said shortage. Therefore, I believe it is a moral obligation to donate blood, platelets, and plasma as much as allowed by the donation center. By doing this, you are saving lives and it is pretty inexpensive and cost-effective.
Furthermore, I talked to a person who took my blood. Can’t provide a source on that, but I am guessing the person who took my blood wouldn’t lie just like that.
