Whilst we are on the subject I thought I''d bring this to you good peoples attention.

We''ve just learned that the Government is planning to let big business profit

from blood donations.It''s almost unbelievable - almost.Up and

down the country, thousands of men and woman give blood each week. They don''t do

it for selfish reasons. They do it for friends, neighbours - and for people they

will never know. By giving blood they do something amazing and save countless

lives.Anyone who has either needed blood, or has a loved one who has,

will know that feeling of gratitude.But this Government doesn''t care

about that selflessness - that''s why they''re planning to literally privatise

your blood. By letting big business marketise blood donations, the Tories will

shatter the virtuous link between donors and recipients.We can''t allow

this to happen - we need to rally around a simple but profound message: Our

blood is not for sale.In response to these plans we''re launching

a national petition - and,  I want your name to be one of the first on

it. Sign our petition and demand that David Cameron steps in and stops this

dangerous plan:

Chances are that if you haven''t benefitted from someone else''s amazing

generosity, someone you know and love has. Often, we owe our loved ones'' very

survival to a blood donation from a complete stranger.Blood donors give

blood so that doctors and surgeons are able to save lives. They don''t give blood

so that private corporations can make a profit.We are talking about life

and death, about an incredible selfless act. Money and profit margins have no

place in this transaction.This is a step too far. We cannot allow this

to happen.I need you to act now. Act for yourself. Act for a

loved one. We are all under threat if the Tories can get away with this - please

sign our petition now:http://action.unitetheunion.com/BloodMoneyWith

thanks,Jennie BremnerUNITE National Officer[/quote]Good idea,  hospitals don''t get the blood for free they are charged per donation.  If donors get a % cut it''ll get more donors in the long run after the whingers pipe down.£15 for Os & As£25 for Bs£30 for ABsOr you could go to special over 18 men only donation days.  You waive for donation fee in return for topless blood nurses.
