Not paid to donate blood, as far as I know, but plasma. I did this a handful of times in college for extra cash.

- doliveira 4y agoThey still pierce you to remove blood and you get paid for it, don't you? I don't think "it's just the plasma" makes much of a difference.
- asib 4y agoIt does with respect to how frequently you're able to donate. In the UK, blood donation can be no more frequent than once every 12 weeks (for men). Plasma can be donated up to once every 2 weeks.
- PeterisP 4y agoThey pierce you to remove blood and put it back. You get to keep all the non-plasma components - blood cells, etc.
- doliveira 4y agoSo...? The ethical (political? social? moral?) component seems the same to me.
