We are likely to face challenges in meeting future need. The cohort that most regularly donates blood is aging...

I'm assuming you are from the US, do you think the same is true for other countries? Also which demographic are you referring too?

I'm more interested in the cohort that isn't aging. What is their secret? A new and improved Calorie Restricted diet? Perhaps that explains their inability to generate sufficient excess blood for donation.

They could also be brain uploads, which would also explain the inability.

Good point. I wonder if they would consider donating CPU time instead!
