I'm sure there's a really obvious reason for this, but why would someone give blood and then immediately say not to use it? What's the point? Here's some of my blood, but you can't do anything with it...seems like that person might as well have kept it for the only person that could use it (themself). As for the one year thing...I know that they test blood before they donate it to new patients, but some diseases (like HIV/AIDS) can take up to 6 months to appear on tests. So they probably just want a really liberal window to ensure that life threatening diseases don't get inaverdently passed on to other people.
