i came across this video about getting paid to give plasma (not blood). its quite interesting and easy to understand , and while i'd probably think about donating blood and/or plasma, im not sure if taking money for it is ethical in my books.
donating is all about intent. if your intention is to donate out of your own kind heartedness, then kudos to you, but if someone is doing it for the money and no other reason, then im not cool with that.
i could understand that plasma and blood is needed, so as an incentive to get people to donate, they offer money. in my eyes it cheapens the value of giving blood, i guess in the same way that sex between two people becomes 'cheap' when its paid for
what do you think?
would you give blood or plasma for money?
