      2 times a week?! Over here you aren’t allowed to donate plasma more than once every month (and you obviously don’t get paid for it)

        Are you sure you aren’t thinking of blood? We have that limitation on blood. But I know most of the rest of the world doesn’t get paid. You don’t for blood here.

          I think blood is 6 weeks, but it’s been a while since I donated.

          No. “Donating” that often is illegal in civilization because it has proven and sometimes severe negative benefits over a long period. Not even accounting for the risk of death from embolism for $50.

          That’s why Grifols had to move their operations from Spain to America.

            …what? Donating blood is a perfectly common thing in “civilization” including spain. The benefits to the recipients far outweigh the risks to the donator.

              I think you’ve missed the “that often”. Civilized countries want the donor’s body to recover from the donation. “Civilized” countries allow shorter recovery periods because the “donor” needs the money from the “donation” to pay rent.

                Oh, I read that as “Donating that” where that=blood. Explains a lot, yea. The limit here in germany for blood was very few times per year too. Plasma was allowed a lot more frequently though.

      Here in France you can make 0€ because the human body cannot be considered a commodity you can trade

        They plasma they take isn’t used in hospitals or shit, it’s used in labs to make new drugs and shit for profit.

            I get that, but if a company is going to use my blood for profit I should see some of that, I shouldn’t be expected to pay my rent or feed myself with that, those are much bigger problems. Perhaps the word “donation” is a bit out of place on the ad, but it’s the most recognizable term for the action.
