    Only difference between us here is we pay with paper, they pay with blood

      Not even paper anymore, it’s almost entirely funny numbers in a computer

        Not me. Just sweat and tears. I leave the bloodwork for those with the stomach

              Not where I live. It’s illegal to sell human things. Organs, blood, plasma… If it comes from a human, you basically can’t buy or sell it.

                Technically you can’t here either, they call it a donation, but they pay you… Not sure exactly what the loophole is. I’ve never done it, but I used to work with a guy that did it as much as they’d let him.

                  You make a donation, you receive a gratuity/tip.

                  It’s pretty minor as a difference, functionally it’s the same as selling it.

                  I don’t know that I have that loophole here. If I find out that we do, I’m “selling” all the plasma/blood/whatever the hell I can live without, as frequently as my poor body can take it.
