We also need to worry if the answer is ‘more’ and because of that we decide to lie on the answer form so that we can donate.

I kind of get the impression that TheOtherDave is doing that, or at least would condone it under circumstances very much like his.

I don't do it, mostly because I'm so irritated by the policy that I've worked my way into a completely counterproductive "F--k it, then, donate your own f--king blood, see if I care" kind of sulk about it. I'm not proud of this, but there it is.

Yes, I condone it... indeed, I endorse it... in situations very much like mine.
