Since i'm on summer vacation, i am spending today catching up on TED podcasts. I just watched one by Dr. Daniel Kraft who, along with his team at Stanford, has come up with a less painful way of donating bone marrow: the Marrow Miner. Watch:
I have considered joining the National Marrow Donor Registry in the past, but i just never got around to actually filling out the questionnaire to get the typing kit. This video inspired me to go ahead and do it, and the Registry is offering free registration right now with promo code PIF070109 (regular cost is $50 to get the typing tests done). If you're in the US, go do it yourself. Now.
If you're in the UK, go to the British Bone Marrow Registry. If you're in Canada, go to the Canadian Blood Service. France: France ADOT. Sweden: Tobias Registret.
