Unfortunately, I am American. I donated whole blood last week and received a $40 gift card, snacks and drinks! I think plasma donations pay up to $100 some places.
I agree with that for the plasma but the whole blood donation goes to the hospitals. The organization I donated for is a local non-profit that supplies the hospitals in my area!
I think muricans get paid. In Australia you basically get drinks and snacks too.

You get paid because they’re selling the plasma to companies who make retail products with it.

Oh yeah, I donate whole blood too. There are legit places that are collecting blood in order to save lives.
But the plasma places are basically milking people to make cosmetics.
I’m not sure I have an explanation why, but getting paid for my blood makes it seem dirtier somehow lol
I’d pay for your bodily fluid any day ;)
I think we get paid for plasma, but not regular blood. I could be wrong, I can’t stand the needles so I’ve never given
I think you might be right. I have only ever given whole blood, so I can’t confirm 100% on the paid plasma either.
Americans get paid for selling plasma. I’ve done and am banned from two places because my veins suck to draw from apparently.
If you want to learn some messed up practices look at blood donation/sales and prison In the United States.
