Why donate blood?

There is tremendous demand for blood in hospitals. Many patients die because they are not able to cope with the loss of blood. The blood donated is used to:
**
Replace blood lost during injury as in accidents.
**
Replace blood loss during major surgeries.
**
Help patients with blood disorders like haemophilia survive.
**
Help burnt patients receive plasma that may be critical for their survival.
**
Raise haemoglobin levels (through transfusions) in patients with chronic ailments like kidney diseases, cancer and anaemia.

I agree here...I signed an organ donor card, it doesn't cost you anything, once when you're dead-you're dead, you have no use of anything when you die, and you never know whom you could help..
