Wished I could but can't meet the necessary qualifications due to several health problems in the past.

I checked the box for cardiac medications (the beta blocker)- therefore they had to refused me.
Tried tho!

[muleman]

can you donate if you are a smoker?

I would think so but never went through all the questions myself.
Luvs, most young ones your age won't even take the time to go through the questions. That is the really sad part. Most folks who would willingly donate are too old(60) or have health issues themselves. Much the same thing happens with blood donations. I was working on my 3rd gallon with the Red Cross when my cardiac problems hit me. Today they are always needing donors to meet needs. Society and their values have changed a lot over the years.

i usually cannot donate blood; i'm too thin.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

I've been on the registry since my early twenties. When I was 25 I was matched 2 times in less than a year. I went through all the extra testing and ended up only matching with one of the people, I donated stem cells taken from my blood. I wasn't given any follow up information, but I hope they were helpful. I have made it clear to my family that when I die I want every organ possible to be donated, and then the rest of my organs will be donated to science programs.

Being an organ and marrow donor is such an easy thing to do, and can absolutely save and change lives.
