The charity will go under unless a generous donor can be found within the next few months. The money for the new hospital was put up by an anonymous donor. In Britain, AIDS tests are now performed on all people who offer to become blood donors. Transplantation of organs from living donors raises ethical issues.
Cutting hair and having your hair cut can both mean very symbolic things and the meanings are far removed from one another. If you have your hair cut it usually has something to do with loss or with change. You are changing the way that you look and leaving a part of yourself behind and in the past.
Since you're merely cutting the hair off at the skin surface (as you correctly said), it takes less time to grow back than plucked hair. Plucking involves physically pulling the hair out of the follicle. These hairs take longer to grow back because they must reach the surface before becoming noticeable. Repeatedly pulling hair out of the follicle may damage the follicle enough over time to keep it from producing more hair. In short, repeated plucking can 'kill' the hair follicle. Shaved hairs WILL grow back, and much faster than plucked hairs.
