Question 19791 — human blood and organs

Summary

Ms. Annie Genevard draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the ban on transfused people donating blood. Transfused people benefited from the solidarity of many donors and thus regained all or part of their health. This is why they in turn wish to be able to reciprocate to other sick or injured people the fraternal gesture from which they have benefited. In France, unlike good many countries surrounding it, transfused people are not authorized to donate blood. One of the main causes given is a potential risk of occurrence of a pathogen with a very long incubation (25 years) of the prion type. However, for 25 years, there have been no new waves of contamination from this agent, and in France, since the leukoreduction of blood products, no case of transfusion origin has been reported. listed. This is why refusing to modify the donor selection criteria in order to reintegrate transfused people is discrimination that the latter cannot accept. At the same time, blood is still a rare resource even though more than a million patients can be treated thanks to a donation. The French blood establishment continues to appeal to maintain stocks at a sufficient level in view of to ensure our country's self-sufficiency in blood products. In France, 10,000 blood donations per day are necessary to meet needs and no product can replace the blood of volunteer donors. Also, she would like to know the reasons which oppose the donation of blood from transfused people.
