Which do you prefer, to give blood or donate money?

Personally, I prefer to donate blood because that could actually save a life.

There is something at work where the parents are asking people to donate money for their sick child. Half the time, money does not go to the cause - have seen it many times in the news etc.

So, which do you prefer, donating money, platelets, bone marrow or money to save lives?

Update:

Sorry for your loss Su, I hope you are alright and thank you for your answer :) x

    Iwould prefer to donate blood, because no offense, but no one is ever going to stop the crisis in Africa because there are so many sick people. I am not a selfish person, but surely we should be helping the sick people in out country first? What is the point in having all of these expensive things if there is no one here to use them?

    As you say, much of the money people donate goes towards administration costs, and often money donated to the poor in Africa is used to buy weapons.

    I would far rather donate blood or organs so that lives could actually be saved or improved,

    My husband died recently, and because he had cancer not many of his organs were suitable for donation. How-ever his corneas saved the sight of another person. Far more beneficial than me giving that person money.

    Give blood--your body makes more of that for free.
