And now the FDA wants to use the same asinine rules for sperm donation as for blood donation

[conuly]

Instead of testing donors to make sure they're not sick, they'd rather just exclude a huge swath of the population from donating.

Brilliant plan, guys. Really.

I really wanted to give blood too... I never have and I want to know my blood type. But I will not be giving blood, possibly ever. But certainly not until I really understand what's wrong with me. I don't think I ever will. But I do think there's a good chance that people with chronic fatigue have been exposed to environmental toxins. This may or may not be transmissable through the blood. It may or may not be transmissable in high enough levels to put others with a genetic predisposition at risk. I'm not going to play Typhoid Mary if I can help it.
