BLOOD donations are...?

NO NO AND YES

Necessary if you are going to have major surgery. Also since there seems to be a major shortage of blood everywhere. You could save a life. Donating plasma can also be a source of income for some people. Those centers pay around $20 a pop but they do limit how often you can donate.

i've donated blood before, and for me it wasnt too pleasent. I got sick, dizzy, and i couldnt eat or drink for a while. but i sill flet good about donating blood. I just wont do it too often. they can be dangerous but most of the time they arent. Its only necessary if the american red cross is in desprate measures.

If you or one of your loved ones are laying in the hospital, near death, and need blood?

Necessary.

I donated over 10 gallons before I had cancer and they told me 'sorry, we can't take your blood any more'.
