Challenging the Ban on Compensating Bone Marrow Donors - Press Conference 10/28/09

[oopik]

I live in Canada, and donated bone marrow once, and peripheral stem cells four times for my cousin. I tried to sign up for the Bone Marrow registry, which is, as far as I know, an Inernational database of bone marrow donors. I was told by the Canadian agency that because I had donated once, I couldn't register, and that I could never donate again. I don't want to be compensated...I just want to be able to help.

I couldn't agree more. Great video.
