Bravo for mentioning this, Neil! I always reply with a resounding, "Yes!" when asked if it's okay to take extra blood, marrow, tissue, etc. for research. My donor was also delighted that I provided some of "our" marrow to science. I also try to participate in other medical studies that require nothing more than a little of my time whenever I can.
