I'm honestly not trying to offend anyone here, but possibly the reasoning 
behind that is to protect you also, not just others that will be receiving 
blood.  They also will not take your blood if you have bleeding ulcers, 
certain heart conditions, if you are on certain medications, etc.  All in 
all, I believe they are trying to protect everyone involved in the process.
