Reply to comment by Jaggedmallard26 in TIL about Lillan Bloodworth, who donated blood every 56 days for nearly 50 years. By the time she stopped at age 85, she had donated 23 gallons. (The average person's body contains about 1.5 gallons.) by WouldbeWanderer

Interesting. I think better screening would solve that issue. Just screen people and set them up for repetitive donations. Have a meeting a couple of weeks before they can donate, test their blood, and then clear them if they are good. Then this can still be a thing that helps people especially poverty stricken ones (without ailments).
