Thousands but only because I have not murdered the bastards for annoying me so far.

Not sure if I've ever DIRECTLY saved someone. Been saved by someone else though.

once I get to the Forest of Illusion 1 I usually save about 14 lives per run.

Oh, then I'm not allowed to give them my highly desired universal donor blood that gets fully tested anyway.
Which is quite effed up. So they trust people to tell the truth on the questionnaire and then not check the blood? Right.

"Honey, let's give blood."
"Sorry, sweety, but I've been banging whores for the last 6 months."

I'm probably in the 80-90 neighborhood. They asked me to donate plasma instead of whole blood due to my blood type and lack of some kind of antibody. So my plasma can be used for babies of any blood type, and they treat me very well (I don't get paid, though).

How do you know how many?
The 7 gallon pin that I just got and the commercials, of course.
One pint of blood can be separated into three components, which can be used to treat three different patients.

1) Red Blood Cells have a shelf life of 35 days and are used primarily for surgery and trauma patients.

2) Plasma can be frozen and stored for one year. It is mainly used in treating shock and burn victims.

3) Platelets are good for only five days and are primarily used to treat cancer and leukemia patients.

Well, they call out pay-for-sex donors too, but you can be a straight male and fuck as much strange as you'd like with no questions asked whatsoever, as long as they're not a prostitute, and you're golden. If you're a male and you've had any sexual contact with a male since the 70s, even once regardless of protection you are not allowed to donate.

All blood is tested. I understand trying to minimize high risk behavior, which is more prevalent with same sex relations, but a straight guy who sleeps around constantly is way higher risk than a gay guy in a committed relationship in my mind.

:colbert:

7 gallons x 8 pints per gallon = 56

56 x 3 patients per unit = 168 people helped.

Doesn't say how many lives you saved, though. Kudos to you for donating, anyway!

Though You were making deposits at a sperm bank.
They turned me away after I donated enough to repopulate China.:$
Can't donate, my hemoglobin is broken.
What does that mean?

Excellent. Too bad the plasma takes so long. The babies and their parents thank you.
