Qualia!
I’ve decided that I want to donate some bone marrow.
For various reasons I am unable to donate blood, but there don’t appear to be any reasons why I can’t donate marrow. So that’s what I shall do. I figure I’ll never be able to donate blood anyway…anemia, low blood volume, low plasma levels, whatever…so why not try to extract some other part of my body for someone else?
Yay.

Plan:
Did you know…
…that there are 97,978 waiting list candidates waiting for an organ donation?
…that the average waiting time for a kidney is 1,121 days (which is a longer wait than for any other major organs, hearts and lungs included)?
…that Sacred Heart Medical Center up in Spokane does kidney transplants?
Conclusion: I want to donate one of my kidneys to someone in need of one. When? No idea. But I want to. New goal in life.
“Crazy,” you say? Hell, somebody out there—many people out there—need a new kidney to survive. Why not do my part?
Okay, I’ll shut up now.
