You can’t pay for donations as that encourages risky behavior. People who shouldn’t donate will if they can make money.
The hospitals do make a profit elsewhere. The whole medical industry sucks. Giving a gift then charging the recipient does not sit well for me. I’m not saying don’t donate blood.
Again it costs calories to make the blood, time, recovery, getting there. That’s coming completely from me. I am just asking the same from them.

Fair enough. If that’s the philosophy you want to live by, then who am I to say otherwise.
Personally, I’d rather help people the best I can in the world I live in.
