als is not transmitted via transfusion, it is a genetically inherited disease!. You can donate blood, but I wouldn't donate your eggs, they carry the gene!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Whats with the eggs part in the main question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes u can donate bloodWww@Answer-Health@Com

You probably wont run into any problems, but the only way to really find out is to just go and do it!. Donating eggs can pay over $1000 but there are weird guidelines!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They test your blood and ask questions before they accept it into the blood bank-and long before it is used on another human being!. (atleast I hope!)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can donate blood but they will test you first for everything and if you have it they will know right away and wont let you donate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should be able to do either or both!. Ask the clinic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are welcome to donate all the blood you want, it gets checked thoroughly before it gets sent into the bank!.
As for your eggs, you are welcome to donate them, and you might turn a pretty good mint for them iffin ya wanted to!. Somehow though, I think there is a link between egg harvesting and early onset of menopause!.!.!. you might want to look into that with a Dr!. before committing!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are many conditions which a potential blood donor must NOT have to be accepted!. For a specific question, such as ALS, call your local hospital blood bank donor center or the American Red Cross donor center nearest you and ask for the "screening criteria!."

As for donating eggs, maybe a hospital gynecology department or fertility center can best guide you!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
