Blood donation

On 3rd of January 2013, I visited blood donation center. I heard that many people require blood in emergency cases. For me it was difficult to donate blood in Russia, so I planned to do it when I go back to Korea during the break and finally I did it.
Before I donate my blood, I was concerning about the hygienic conditions. I heard that some serious diseases such as AIDS can be infected if the hygienic condition is not very good in the blood donation center.

 However,fortunately the hygienic condition in the blood donation center was very good, and the service was also really good. I heard that the number of people who require blood is increasing every year but the number of people who are donating their blood is decreasing. My blood type was A which is quite common comparing to rare blood types such as AB rh- but still they said they really appreciated to me about the donation. While I was waiting for the donation there were many books to read, I could use the internet for free. And after the donation, they gave me a chocolate pie for free. They were advertising about the blood donation however, unfortunately the number of people who are donating their blood is decreasing.

I was happy that I was one of people who volunteered to donate my blood. I did not expect any benefits from this and I volunteered to do it, therefore I had considered the ethical implications of my actions.If I have another chance to donate my blood, I am willing to do it anytime.
