About

We're a geeky group of friends committed to discussing the serious and important issues of the day: domestic policies and liberties, international relations, security, disaster preparation, law, science, art, literature, pirates and the myriad methods by which squids and octopuses mate. Okay, we mostly care about the last two.

Blooooood .... Now Available in Canine!

Yep. Canine blood donation. I ... I can't make up my mind. Is this good? Is this terrible? I didn't even know this happened, and I am what you might call a reglar at the blood bank. Jokes about doggie bags spring to mind (I can't help myself), but mostly I'm trying to decide if people should be taking their dogs in to donate. For one thing, it's about 1/5 of a greyhound's blood volume (compared to about 1/8th of mine). And I think we can assume they're not capable of consenting?

Regardless, if you're capable of consenting, I am totally in favor of humans donating. Red Cross or other places. It is National Blood Donor Month, after all.
