I never thought about it, until a week ago when the hospital gave my dad a transfusion to help keep him alive. Stuff like that turns out to be the best motivation for considering blood donation.
I've always been grossed out by bleeding, so I get nervous doing simple blood tests. But I think if I do them often enough I'll get used to it. I also want to get pet leeches one day, they'll probably be a cute and interesting way to get used to "donating" blood.
