JenL Oct 2009 11:28am, 7 Oct 2009 933 posts	0 JenL Are we just a short step away from a full body examination before donation now? As the exclusions increase, it makes me think it's all the more important for those who can donate to do so. This is probably the issue I am at my least liberal about, now I come to think of it. ::wanders off to take anti-fascist pill

It is for all of the reasons stated and a few more but the main thing to remember is, if they ask you a question, behonest as it's always for a good reason whether it seems that way or not at the time, after all, they're not going to turn away perfectly good donors now are they? Anyhooooo! Back off to my work!
