Ah, but you can still do self donation. The Red Cross doesn't want my blood either (that whole taking aspirin to prevent another stroke thing).
And, when I was working at Red Cross (1984-1988), that was my major focus. Taking blood that could not be put into the transfusion rotation (high risk donors) and making compounds out of it that could be used in the lab.
That way, the Red Cross saved tons of money every year, and the high risk donors could still make a substantial contribution.
