I personally think this was the right thing for Jennifer to do at the time. Do you feel like it was too risky, or even irrational? If you were in her shoes, would you have done the same to possibly save a life?

I completely agree. She was pretty quick on her feet, too. She didn't give anyone the chance to stop her.Yolimari wrote:I thought it was the right call because she was so smart while doing it. In addition, they did not have the technology to understand her blood. The only thing that was worrisome was that they might notice something was unusual about her because donating three pints is a lot.

The amount was suspicious. It would have made more sense to draw maybe two pints to be sure Jose was safe to make it to the hospital.ashley_claire wrote:I agree that it was the right thing to do but the amount she was able to donate was suspicious. I also found it odd that nobody ever asked her to show them exactly how she did the test. Being that it's a group of scientists and research students, I would think that's something they would want to know just for curiosity's sake.
I agree that it's odd nobody was curious to learn how to test the blood samples. I would have probably jumped up to watch during the process.

I definitely agree it was the right thing at the time. Outside looking in, the act was just pretty risky.Anjum wrote:I think that it was the right thing to do at that time.

It is too risky for her to donate three pints, it is too much
