plasma save ssoooooooooooooooooooo many lives... ther are some treatments that require patients to recieve plasma. I liked donating plasma because i could give a lot of it, and often. They take your blood and it spins real fast so all the white blood cells are collected, and then you get your blood back, just will less white blood cells.

I do donate my blood but , not too often. I try to donate my blood whenever there is a blood donation camp. Actually I am on a medication because I have a skin disease so I fear that this may be harmful for me and to the receiver. My blood group is B+

I tried to donate blood in our high school blood drive, but they wouldn't let me. They did a test to check my iron levels and mine are too low. I actually found out by trying to donate blood that I have iron deficiency anemia. I haven't tried to donate again since high school since I'm pretty sure they won't let me as it would probably make me faint or become ill. My husband donates fairly often though when they do blood drives at work :)
