Plenty of good and selfless reasons to donate blood or platelets. Here is a selfish one, besides the record breaking weight loss of 1/2kg in 10mins.

this is a obvious take. its just an horrifyingly self centered article. ‘donate blood because it removes potentially damaging compounds from you! you’re a good person by doing so!’ its embodies so many things wrong w/ people.
the fact where the pfas go is never mentioned is either: deliberate or the people on the decision making tree for writing and publishing this article are hopelessly self centered as a group. neither is a good thing.
True, it reflects where humanity has gone. I’ve been donating for nearly 20 years now (in several countries) and sadly I mostly see older people there, some in my age braket (late 30s) and hardly ever anyone young.
To me this one is a case where the end justifies the means. If someone is motivated to donate for purely selfish reasons then that is still a win overall.
If it makes you feel better, I’m under 30, and the mod of this community because although I am no super-donor, I didn’t see one and I donate often enough I figured that on the small Fediverse I could mod until someone more qualified showed up.
Nice, thanks for setting it up. I guess it’s on us to build places like this one here where ingerested people can ask questions. I should look into organising a blood drive.
