I believe that donating implies that you are giving something.
If you received money for whatever you're donating then it becomes selling it & is no longer donating.

By the time someone needs plasma, they're usually running up a bill that will be tens of thousands of dollars. Someone having been paid 50 dollars for plasma isn't really an issue at that point.
The medical establishment that charges hundreds of dollars for things the can be bought on amazon for 20 bucks, trying to attach a stigma to people being paid for plasma should be ashamed of itself. Of course if it had the capacity for shame, this wouldn't be and issue.

I'd be surprised that one could purchase tested plasma from the internet.
As it is considered a biological pharmaceutical, & is under regulation by the FDA & CFR's(code of federal regulations)
Medical facilities as well as not for profit orgs. should be ashamed of themselves for charging as much as they do for a donated product that costs them maybe, at most $50 from donation site to hospital delivery. Generally there is an , at least, 300 to 1000 % markup from the products that can be made from each donated unit!
But, who am I to judge?????

great thread! i donate plasma twice a week. my immune system is extremely good. its a small way for me to help others, and get a little money at the same time. i am dealing with a situation where i cant work for a few months. this is a win win solution for me. it also helped me get over my extreme fear of needles.
the down side is that i will never look at a (capri sun) straw the same way ever again.
