  it will lead to crimes as well.
  
  criminals might kill innocent people on the streets and drain all their blood and sell for money.

  And they call this donation? I don't see any lowering in cost for consultancy. Since when people get benefits for what they contribute in Singapore?
  
  If they can make you donate kidneys , NKF will close
  
  

  I guess you just don't see the whole picture of donating blood to others. You can keep your blood for all you wish.
  
  For those regular donor, they'll know what privileges they enjoy at PolyClinics and Hospital.

  And Singapore will suffer the same situation as China when they make it legal to be paid for their donation.

  I'll keep a look-out and update you.
  
  Temples and churches have donations drives as well. If you don't mind, I can update you as well.

  Since when it's paid? If it's paid, it won't be called 'donation'

  Unless you're taking some medication or suffering from some illness.
  
  Don't have to be concern about the needle or bag, cause it's not painful.
