Without the self-righteousness
[QUOTE=Sang Feng Fan;775632]FuXnDajenariht,
Please do not interpret this as self-rightousness, as I have every form of it.
I donate both blood and plasma as often as I can (plasma at the aphoresis center downtown; blood after church mass).
I have volunteered EVERY stinkin molecule of my body for donation when I die.
I tried to donate a kidney to both my cousin and mother, but was denied (due to kidney disease in my family).
I think we all should be organ-donors, blood donors, as well as advance stem-cell research without using fertilized eggs. However, that might upset the apple cart for our prized health care system here in the U.S., now wouldn't it? The problem is also at the Governmental level. There are both politics and human nature at work here.
Most people don't have the courage to act on something until their ox is gored. And most politicians have no balls, which is how they got there.
A S
Anyone donate some new wiring?!

Holy cow Becca! I know you're dyslexic but that's three spellings for the same word in one sentence! :eek: :D
BTW, I thought the show was a funny and good idea FWIW.
BTW2, I would love to give blood over here but since I'm English they won't let me for fear of BSE/CJD (despite my not having eaten meat since 1986)!
