I’m very confident that if you could sell your blood on the free market and avoid donation scamming centers, which literally are taking your blood for free (time compensation) and sell it, partly to the Pharma industry for profit, the problem of not enough blood would be solved quickly.
But blood counts as organs and organ trade is prohibited.

But hospitals won't use sold blood to inject into patients because even if it goes through testing for diseases, they consider it too high a risk. https://www.statnews.com/2016/01/22/paid-plasma-not-blood/ https://www.statnews.com/2016/01/22/paid-plasma-not-blood/
- sharpshadow 2y agoOhh that’s good to know thanks. Here in Germany and probably Europe it’s not allowed not even the plasma part.
