Highly commendable sir.
I was precluded from donating for several years because of frequent travel to some rather nasty areas of Central and South America, and currrently because of medications I take. Before all that, I probably gave a total of about three gallons.
Your points (or pints) are well made. Perhaps most important is the fact that there is still no substitute in many cases for donated human blood. Without that simple selfless act, several modern surgical and lifesaving procedures would be impossible.
