    I’ve always wondered about this as I wanted to donate my organs. Interesting talk. Thank you

    Perfect timing. I was just wondering if it’d be safe for me to donate blood, since the Red Cross is facing a critical shortage of blood in the US

    I have hEDS and when I tried to donate platelets, they had trouble getting them from me and ended it early with less than they usually get from a donation.
