I SUPPORT this bill. Individuals should be able to banks their own blood prior to a scheduled operation but they also should be able to have friends or family members donate blood for them.

I support SF2139We should have the right to bank and receive our own blood, in the event we need a blood transfusion or to have a family member do so. Remove the barriers, including this one, that prevent people from making their own medical decisions.

I support this bill. People should be able to bank their own blood or ensure family members (like children) receive their own banked blood. This is a medical freedom issue.
