At iGEM we believe societal considerations should be upfront and integrated throughout the design and execution of synthetic biology projects. “Human Practices” refers to iGEM teams’ efforts to actively consider how the world affects their work and the work affects the world. Through your Human Practices activities, your team should demonstrate how you have thought carefully and creatively about whether your project is responsible and good for the world. We invite you to explore issues relating (but not limited) to the ethics, safety, security, and sustainability of your project, and to show how this exploration feeds back into your project purpose, design and execution.

In order to response to this meaningful day, our team members decided to do some voluntary activities at the local blood donation bus. Our main job was to help the nurses and donors, like teaching the donors how to fill in the form, recording the donor’s information in the computer and putting the blood bags in the fridge, etc. From our voluntary activity, we learned that some detections must be performed before the donation, including the blood type, hemoglobin quantity, ALT detection, markers of HBV and Treponema pallidum.

Human Practices

June 14th is the World Blood Donor Day, and this year, the theme is “Give blood to others and share life.”. In order to response to this meaningful day, our team members decided to do some voluntary activities at the local blood donation bus. Our main job was to help the nurses and donors, like teaching the donors how to fill in the form, recording the donor’s information in the computer and putting the blood bags in the fridge, etc. From our voluntary activity, we learned that some detections must be performed before the donation, including the blood type, hemoglobin quantity, ALT detection, markers of HBV and Treponema pallidum.

Things we do
  • Visit the Blood Center Of Shandong province
  • Interview with a professor working in the blood center
  • Work as volunteer in blood donation bus
  • Do questionnaires

Combine with the interview and the questionnaires results, we found that today’s blood donation is facing a serious situation: the public’s perception of blood donation is biased and the governments’ propaganda is not strong enough. These cause the shortage of blood supply. So we decided to do some public education and encourage more citizens to join in the blood donation. We held a small lecture just under the blood donation bus. The lecture was about the advantages of blood donation, our project, and some preferential policies that made by the government to reward the blood donors. The lecture was successful, many people decided to donate and would like to share these knowledge to their families and friends.
