Is blood donation an individual responsibility?

It is your blood. If you decide to donate then it is indeed your decision. Blood donating is a very worthwhile thing to do and helps people in crisis. You are tested before you give blood to see if you are anemic. If you dont have any diseases and are not anemic, then your blood would be a welcome thing to donate. If you are wondering if you should do it, then give it a try. You might feel very good about yourself for doing so.
