Yo how much does this pay tho?
Location dependent. Here in he midwest you can make around 400 something a month doing this 2 times a week.
2 times a week?! Over here you aren't allowed to donate plasma more than once every month (and you obviously don't get paid for it)
Are you sure you aren't thinking of blood? We have that limitation on blood. But I know most of the rest of the world doesn't get paid. You don't for blood here.
I think blood is 6 weeks, but it's been a while since I donated.
No. "Donating" that often is illegal in civilization because it has proven and sometimes severe negative benefits over a long period. Not even accounting for the risk of death from embolism for $50.
That's why Grifols had to move their operations from Spain to America.
...what? Donating blood is a perfectly common thing in "civilization" including spain. The benefits to the recipients far outweigh the risks to the donator.
I think you've missed the "that often". Civilized countries want the donor's body to recover from the donation. "Civilized" countries allow shorter recovery periods because the "donor" needs the money from the "donation" to pay rent.
Oh, I read that as "Donating that" where that=blood. Explains a lot, yea. The limit here in germany for blood was very few times per year too. Plasma was allowed a lot more frequently though.
You should probably know what people are talking about before you pipe up
Here in France you can make 0€ because the human body cannot be considered a commodity you can trade
They plasma they take isn't used in hospitals or shit, it's used in labs to make new drugs and shit for profit.
I know but I think that's still not possible here
I get that, but if a company is going to use my blood for profit I should see some of that, I shouldn't be expected to pay my rent or feed myself with that, those are much bigger problems. Perhaps the word "donation" is a bit out of place on the ad, but it's the most recognizable term for the action.
Don't do it, you can't get rid of the huge needle scars
EDIT: I tried to upload a pic of the scar on my arm, but I keep getting an error 🙄
Joke's on you, they'll just get lost in my track marks
Are those noodles on your arm?
Definitely this. Just get evicted instead - that way you can still wear short sleeves.
No, just do crimes instead
No /s

I mean you totally should do it, a number of people will die without access to the medication it makes.
It sucks that they're in so short supply they have to offer so much money and that people are so poor they need it to survive.
But my little needle scars don't harm me any.
I guess I mean don't do it the max amount every week
I mean we are in permanent undersupply.
So everyone that is willing should do it. If everyone did it once a month we wouldn't need multi week people, but all we can really get is impoverished people doing it a ton. :shrug:
Welcome to dystopia!
You're saying "we." Are you involved in plasma collection/donation drives/however I should phrase that?
If so, I'm curious about something. I'm gay, and sexually active. I have protected sex, and I'm on prep. I do have multiple partners, though. Should I donate? Because I've always used the whole gay ban as an excuse not to, because I truly despise needles to a phobia level. But I'd like to help if I can.
Oh I donated plasma when I could so that's why I use "we". I'm too sick now, but you almost certainly can volunteer at blood drives to help and the like, can even help organize them if you have access to a public space. You should reach out.
I’m not the only one! Yeah it’s a rough scar from a rough time in my life.
In Washington I was making like $200/mo
