Donors maintained a sense of right over their donation when they discussed cord blood donation as potentially benefiting their family as well as society. Conclusion: In order to keep receiving donated body parts, tissue and blood, there is a need to take into account the way in which donation operates within a prevalent 'rights' discourse.",
