Title: Blood donation by thal minor
Post by: Slade on March 29, 2024, 10:41:06 PM

Hi All,

I'm a thal minor and I'm considering to donate blood next week. Not that I'm afraid that this may do me some harm. I certainly hope not! However, I'm wondering if it's even ethical to do it as the person who will eventually receive that blood may be in really poor condition and in need of blood with quality, stable RBCs which are able to transport oxygen normally. Please let me know your thoughts.
