Ok, so systems for donating blood are different in different places, I get that. Where I’m from, the only benefit you get from donating blood is a thumbs up, pat on the back, and a popsicle or a coffee cup or some other small gift.

donating blood is NOT donating plasma.
blood is probably more valuable, especially if you’re near something crazy, like a war or natural disaster. blood is so valuable it’s insane
plasma, also super valuable, not so immediately helpful to people dying in a war zone
i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck

To be fair, what yanks call donating plasma is a misnomer. This confuses the rest of the world, who would call it what it actually is: selling plasma.

You also asked if you should lie about safety on stuff to inject into other human beings who need medical aid. That shouldn’t even be a question. Needing money is no excuse to gamble with the lives of others.
