What do you think of Bone Marrow Donation
9 years ago
General
I've been contemplating joining the registry for Bone Marrow Donation. Meaning that I would donate bone marrow if someone were to need it.
In talking about this people have had some interesting reactions, though mostly D: but it's a giant needle"
So I'm curious watchers, what do you think? would you do it? Would you donate bone marrow?
This isn't to make people feel like shit or anything if not. There's no obligation to donate body stuff at all. It doesn't make anyone less to do it, and honestly I don't see it as that much of a big deal to think someone is better for doing it, or much better than sharing time and effort really. So if you wouldn't do it that's totally cool, i'm just curious as to why.

Thank you for the link though, much appreciated.
But that was 15 years ago, I imagine donating bone marrow was made significantly more tolerable since then. Still, if it were me I'd prolly refuse to donate or be donated bone marrow because of that experience.
