Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / June 2005donating blood
Does anyone know how to donate blood and get paid for it? I donated once, but they didn't pay me. > Does anyone know how to donate blood and get paid for it? You can't donate something and get paid for it. When you that, you are selling, not donating. Go to a different county. In the US, and I presume many other countries, they don't pay for blood donations because they want people donating for money, particularly drug users and prostitutes. This is to help protect the blood supply from HIV, Hepatitis and other diseases. > I donated once, but they didn't pay me. Good. You can sell plasma. Look in your local phone book under blood or plasma, and make a few phone calls. Jeff > Does anyone know how to donate blood and get paid for it? > > I donated once, but they didn't pay me. You get paid for donating Plasma... Find a plasma center.  SignatureOm. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson What exactly do they need my plasma for? I thought plasma was just sugar and random proteins, like a high-protein slurpee. > > Does anyone know how to donate blood and get paid for it? > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson > What exactly do they need my plasma for?

Plasma is used to restore blood volume, restore clotting proteins in people with clotting problems, like during surgery, to get the immunoglobins (antibiodies), and for research, among other uses.

In my country (Italy) that's forbidden by law, to get paid for donating blood. I believe that's because if donors get paid, there is a risk that someone donates even if they shouldn't. |
