    No, I’m one of those weird people that because my family moved to the UK when I was little in the late 80s for work for a year I’m under risk of mad cow disease and none of us can donate blood or organs. Learned that the sad way when trying to give blood in college, like half a dozen random things that can disqualify you that you might not realize.

      FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would’ve been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

      Wherever you are, maybe check again if they’ve relaxed the rule.

        Unfortunately I am in United States of Freedom. Good to know though, thanks.

          It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you’re still keen, do give them a ring.
