Arthur Caplan

“Our donors are the key to maintaining our supplies. It's always great to do something to help someone else by donating blood, but it's also nice to receive a little something for the effort. That's why we have the extra incentives. While you can't repay someone for the gift of life, this is our way of saying 'thank you' for giving to someone else.”
Cortney Martin
“For these blood donors to come out on a volunteer basis, to be asked to donate less times a year, that would impact our patients and hospitals.”
Carmen Davila
“Is it entirely altruistic that donors give? Of course not. It's stupid to think a political donor doesn't try to increase their clout.”
