Artificial Cheese

I’m tired of the blood banks playing the guilt card every time they need blood. I’m not bleeding people, why am I being blamed for the lack of blood in their bags? I don’t like the fact that people are dying and I could indirectly improve their chances of survival. But we should respond to their thirst for blood the same way we respond to our SUVs’ thirst for gas; by improve efficiency.

This can be done by taking the “bank” in “blood bank” more seriously. Lets start by saying that every bank needs an account. When you either give blood or withdraw blood you get an account. If your account has a negative balance then you need to donate. If you have a positive balance, then you don’t need to donate when you need blood.

There, we’re already breaking even. If we throw in some interest rates, tax deductions, loans, blood bonds, etc. we’ll see a Hemoconoical golden age in no time.
