Haha, no you don't wanna do it. A old friend of mine had to get it done. She told me it was one of the worst pains she has ever felt. Basically a long ass needle thing drilling into your bone. Ouch.

ya they say your pretty sore the next few weeks, but trust me i want to do it. seems like giving bone marrow is one of the few things you can do these days that will directly impact another persons life in a lifesaving positive way.

Hey man, go for it if you want. I think its cool you're so for making an impact on another persons life. But, I think it might be one of those things.. you only do once unless you have to do it again for medical purposes like my friend.
