It's still a bit messed up. You have to be celibate for a year before you can donate, but it's a hell of a lot better than where we've been.

That's completely ridiculous. You'd think medical professionals would understand a bit of medicine.

Much "medical policy" in the United States really has to do with catering to irrational fears. Actually, a great deal of political activity happens along the same lines.

Scream. At least the bone marrow people aren't frightened of me (not that they've called since I registered, but they could).
