Letter: A willing blood donor seeks new recipient

Published 7 May 2025

Name/address withheld on request

I have been a blood donor since I was 17 (I am 63 now). I was recently told that I no longer needed to give regular donations, as they have sufficient supplies of my blood type(22 March, p 18). I have always felt it to be a good thing to donate, not only ethically but also physically, as suggested by your article on post-donation regeneration. Is there a useful alternative way of giving blood, whether it be for research purposes or such like?
