I am 16-year-old, living in a hostel in Oregon. I wish to donate blood. I called up my dad to get permission, but he got angry and hung up on me. Do I need to take parent’s permission for donating blood?

No, as you are 16 year old, you don’t need to take parent’s permission for donating blood to any blood program.ORS § 109.670-

(2) As used in subsection (1) of this section, "blood program" means any voluntary and noncompensatory program for the drawing of blood which is approved by the American Association of Blood Banks or the American Red Cross.”
