Sister refuses to save her brother.

i meant that if someone approached me and asked me to do it, i'd consider.

Alright, but I would see it as perfectly reasonable to refuse.

The article, on a more on topic note, is extremely biased.

what about the effects it has on the donor? any health risks?

That should not matter.

The article states though that it obviously has slight risks. Not particularly high ones though.

it wouldnt matter to me, not if the effects were not permanent. if i were to place myself in danger, i would reconsider.

Especially if I'd have to pay for giving myself health risks. $52 doesn't grow on trees.

good point. paying to be a volunteer doesnt make you a volunteer, it makes you......i dunno....a member?

A bone marrow donation is an invasive operation and that is never, ever something to be taken lightly.

Although this person isn't going to win charity awards any time soon, I'd hate to think we live in a society where people feel morally obliged to undergo such a potentially harmful procedure to save another, brother or otherwise, That's disturbing.

It's a good thing when it does happen, not something to be criticised when it does not.

i wouldnt feel MORALLY obligated to do it, but if i were presented with oppurtunity to save a fathers life, a guy with three or four kids, i'd definitely get with FJ, weigh the pros and cons, and together we'd make the decision.

Well a lot of the tone in here seems to be one of moral condemnation. That's completely backwards.

Donors should be praised, NOT non-donors criticised.

pretty good point. do you ever get tired of being a chronic know it all? 😂

If it were my sibling, I wouldn't do it. 😐

Has anyone noticed that this article comes from a very unreliable source? It's The Daily Mail... It's probably either a crock of shit of miss-informed.

Are you currently donating bone marrow for strangers, or siblings?

Err. I guess I'm late. Seems Bardock already asked. That link to donate was priceless.

nope. whats that got to do with me considering to do it if i was asked to do so?

Go to a random hospital walk into a room with a few patients that need it and ask if they would like some....

Anyways, this woman although definitely not very nice has the right to deny giving it. And probably a very good reason too, I just don't hope she doesn't feel really guilty after her brother dies and gets kicked out of the family for not helping him.
