An Expression of Appreciation No better evidence of the improved health and longevity of US citizens can be found than in the announcement by the American Association of Blood Banks that the age limit for giving of blood has been raised to 66 nstead of 60. as in the past. Liberalization of the age limit for donating blood was agreed to jointly by the American Association of Blood Banks and the American National Red Cross. The two organizations togetler collect and process 90 per cent of the more than 6.5 million pints of blood used annually or surgery and therapy in US hospitals. Some time ago, it was suggested that seasonal blood shortages might be alleviated if people were encouraged to celebrate their birthdays by donating a pint of blood at the nearest blood bank or collection center. Offering to donate blood is also one way in which we can express appreciation of the health services and miracle drugs toat have added years to our lives.
