I just can't believe there would be members who are so gullible and weak-willed enough to take that email seriously. If you're recently ill, inked, or diseased... or you have an aversion to giving blood, I can't imagine that a little sophmore promising dire consquences for not rolling up your sleeve wouldn't get more than a couple of rolled eyes.
But apparently, I am wrong, and sick people can be persuaded to open their veins in the name of "Trophy."
I'm not excusing the sophomore-- I'm just surprised she was taken at face value. That's all. I'm impressed at the level of attention this has gotten from the media.
Question-- I seem to recall that when you go to give blood, they do a quick test on you first, to make sure your blood is normal. Don't they still do that? They're not going to release blood into the blood banks without first testing it. As someone else said, there are plenty of people walking around with diseases they aren't even aware of.
