if you have lived in countries, like Germany, for more than i think its 4 months you cant donate blood to most blood providers...i dont get it...they dont let me donate b/c i mite have Mad Cow...i never ate meat in Germany, im vegetarian...do u think its right? i mean allll these ppl need blood, like right after 9/11, no wonder theres a blood shortage...almost every1 willing to give can't...this elimates like almost all service people n tons of ppl....what do u think? shoud ppl that have lived in European countries n coutries with bad water still be able to give?

Yeah we are in SERIOUS need of blood. People think just because you don't see it being broadcasted on CNN that their is a blood shortage, that there isn't one.

Can't you get tested for mad cow? And Germany wasn't even the country with the huge outbreak.

hurmmm if they start testing, it would cost them alot of money. i agree that germany doesnt have alot of Mad Cow outbreaks, but they are trying to be safe.
