I’ve been a blood donor for most of my adult life, and have donated about 30 liters. Where I’m at you get a token donation and a thanks for donating, but someone mentioned that in the US you get paid quite a lot depending on the quality and the blood type.

I have a fairly uncommon blood type (about 10% of the population) and a blood count of around 150.

So, how wealthy would I have been if I had donated my blood in the US instead?

      At least that’s good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.

          Drug addicts desperate for money for example.

      Wonder if they could save some time and not put the rest back, just give it to a zoo to feed vampire bats or something… 🤔
