 Blood Bank Exec Sees Possible Blood Drought
America's Blood Centers executive director Jim MacPherson reported Wednesday that the nation's blood supply may see one of its worst shortages this summer.
"We're trying to prepare you for the fact that this summer may be one of the worst that we have seen in many years." MacPherson attributed much of the current slump in blood donations to corporations' realization that it costs money to participate in blood drives.
Moreover, because the blood center turns away people with various risk factors for diseases like HIV and hepatitis, the available donor pool is smaller.
