Reply #18: How can you tell if someone is gay, sexually active or even homeless? And for that matter...

If it's *all* being *tested,* as the law requires, why would the opinion of the person in the office matter, much less the claims of the person donating blood?

Is it science, is it *tested,* or is it all bull manure? This is another hold over from the days of the RW god, Ronnie Raygun.

Take the blood, test and discard if found infected. There should not even be a questionnaire, if the *test* is truly able to determine if the blood is good. AND if they have any real intention to *test.*

It aruges the point that they were ever going to *test* the blood if they intend to go with hearsay.

:spank:


Maybe they are trying to weasel out of doing the *test?* I'd find that donation center to be a bit shady for trying to take a shortcut!

This should not be a civil rights matter, it should be pure scientific examination of the product being bought and sold. You can't regulate people's words or their behaviors.

These turkeys should just do the tests which are regulated. I really believe someone is trying to make a profit and do this on the cheap and evaluate the safety of the blood without testing. IMHO.
