Money for Blood

[Darts]

Apparently, we don't have enough blood volunteers.

Are you ok paying for blood?

 

[Mr Deeds]

I'm OK getting paid for blood

 

[Geee]

I'm OK getting paid for blood

Probably won't be my blood but I'm also okay being paid for blood

I'd donate for free unless they insist on paying me, what's the going rate?

More than 10 years ago I tried donating. After many questions the nurse thought I was Gay. They were afraid of HIV back then. Now it seems they will take anyone.
They can suck it out of goats for all I care.

The problem with this approach is that druggies line up to give their disease infested blood for money to buy more drugs.

Yes, I remember the HIV infected blood. That was how tennis star Arthur Ashe (and some others) contracted HIV.

Aren't there quality controls in place now?

Red cross is a scam. You a fool if you think that blood is for saving lives. Most of it is used for labs to make medications, which they then sell for big profits.

Would be interesting in knowing what reliable evidence you have for this statement.
Shamefully the donor base has gotten smaller over the years. It should be going the other way given increased population, Many news articles lately about blood shortages and potential for negative affect on patient care. There is NO excuse for eligible donors not donating on a regular basis

An idiotic, malinformed post if there ever was one.

Canadian Blood Services is not the "Red Cross" .

These are the kind of conspiracy theories that may influence weak minded losers into not donating blood.

Ok, CBS is a scam. They do the same practice sell blood and plasma. Make good money doing it as well. Great business model, the resource they deal in is free.
Tell me again how malinformed I am having to bury my grandmother at 7 from the liver failure she suffered from. Canadian Blood Services were the ones who collected the hepatitis ridden blood to give her.

Right, this doesnt happen here.
Only difference is canada has a monopoly and has convinced its sheep to give their essence away for free.

The U.K. has just announced 100,000 Pound Sterling compensation for victims of tainted blood.
