Topic Reading-Vol.902-9/30/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
New rules draw blood in China
Is blood donation supposed to be voluntary or mandatory? It seems to be a question or definition of what voluntary is. When ordinary citizens try to get a driving license, enroll in university, or marry, it sounds socially acceptable or even reasonable to ask or encourage them to donate their blood. However, they aren’t supposed to be required to donate it, are they?
That is what happened in some provinces in China which caused fierce criticism on social median platforms. It is also unclear why those local health authorities need to boost blood stock to the level that mandate donation?
Enjoy reading and learning how people react to mandatory donation.
