How about giving every prison a blood bank? There could be a collection from every inmate once /year! That would be very useful

Every prison? Even the ones full of the injectable drug crowd guys who may well have AIDS?

But no, I don't think anyone should be forced to give away their blood while alive.

They check the blood that they take before they pass it on to hospitals :S

Unfortunately I believe it's possible for blood to be infected even if it passes the checks. In the case of AIDS, I believe they check for the antibodies, not the virus itself. If someone was recently infected they might have the virus in their blood but not the antibodies yet.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
