Specific Purpose Statement: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross.
The desire to have a "normal" child is held by every parent and only now are we beginning to have the ability to select for that child. In preparation to receiving genetic testing, the parents are required to meet with a genetic counselor. A detailed description of the testing methods are reviewed with the couple as well as the risks which are involved with each. Upon an understanding of the procedures, the counselor discusses the many possible outcomes which could be the result of the diagnosis. Finally, before any tests are performed, anxieties from either of the parents are addressed as well as the psychological well-being of the parents.

Whether it be helping others that need a blood transfusion, or a supplemental source of income, donating plasma is an extravagant process that takes more effort than the normal citizen realizes. Previously I have explained the entirety of the donation procedure, including the waiting room ordeal, the donating, and then the end stages of the process.

I have given blood before and I am aware of the questionnaire and procedures used during the blood donation process.
Through this test, an independent blood centre in Charlotte was seen as a best fit given that the population was large enough to supply the centre with enough blood. Thus, the Community Blood Centre of the Carolinas was founded in 2002. Working under the license of another centre, CBCC had three major goals: meet all the needs of blood donors, meet all the needs of patients and meet all the needs of the health service providers in its region of operation. To ensure this, CBCC initiated a procedure in its operations that ensured that the problem of blood availability was catered for. The centre only collected the blood from donors, broke down the blood into its components, tested it and returned it to the community that donated
