AB+ should be donating platelets or plasma. You're a universal donor for that. And if you're a man, you especially should be donating to save Mom's and babies.

- arp242 2y agoYeah dunno, they never asked/offered it as an option.
- saalweachter 2y agoHonestly, if you want to give it another try, beyond donating plasma, I recommend feeling smug about it. No, really; it's not like a lot of work to donate blood, if there's a blood drive at your workplace or somewhere else convenient, it's just a little uncomfortable and maybe you take it easy for a couple of days after. So just reveling in the vainglorious satisfaction of feeling better than all those other selfish people who didn't SAVE ANY LIVES that day can be enough to outweigh the mild discomfort and bit of time you spent on the process, so the next time you see the blood drive you can look forward to the impending smugness rather than dreading the inconvenient obligation.
