It would be a great thing if someone still in this life could gain benefit from what I've left behind.</p>

<p>About the blood donation...when patients who don't have the green MDA card need blood, they do get it anyway. But by the time they've arrived back to the ward from the recovery suite there's a note on their bed requiring a family member to make a donation in the next few days to cover what they received. If not, they get charged. </p>Alissa commented on 'Playing the 'protexia' Card'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f5e8086c970b2010-11-16T19:53:43Z2010-11-16T19:53:43ZAlissahttp://altmanaliyah.blogspot.comOh, and if you go to the Israeli form, you can submit the form electronically, rather than printing and faxing.<p>Oh, and if you go to the Israeli form, you can submit the form electronically, rather than printing and faxing.</p>Alissa commented on 'Playing the 'protexia' Card'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f5e7f4f5970b2010-11-16T19:38:16Z2010-11-16T19:38:16ZAlissahttp://altmanaliyah.blogspot.comThank you for this; I've had a HODS card for many years, and it didn't even occur to me that...<p>Thank you for this; I've had a HODS card for many years, and it didn't even occur to me that my HODS card might not apply here.

A nice thing is that there is a box that you can check on the card which says that your organs can only be harvested in consultation with a religious authority that your family designates.</p>
<p>Dan... Yes, that's blood insurance. The difference is that you will never be denied access to blood. You'll just have to pay for it if you or a family member hasn't donated in the past year.</p>Dan commented on 'Playing the 'protexia' Card'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0134890634d9970c2010-11-16T13:17:53Z2010-11-16T13:17:53ZDanDoesn't Israel already do something similar with blood?

In other words, if you donate blood to MDA then you are eligible to receive blood for the next year.</p>Esther commented on 'Playing the 'protexia' Card'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef013489056c81970c2010-11-16T10:22:04Z2010-11-16T10:22:04ZEstherAfter a chat with a science teacher in high school my entire class decided to sign up for donor cards...<p>After a chat with a science teacher in high school my entire class decided to sign up for donor cards and I've had one since.<br />
I keep reminding my poor husband about it so if the day comes it won't have to think too hard about the matter.</p>
<p>One Yom Kippur my synagogue handed out sign up cards accompanied by a paper in which several Rabbis explained why donation was both kosher and a mitzvah.<br />
