Interesting. My father has received a ton of donor blood over the past few years. Once he's gone I'll be donating regularly. My father's alive because dozens of people donated.

To anyone here that has made a deposit to the blood bank: we thank you.

Go away. Just go away. Sometimes too much cynicism is toxic.

Donating blood is good for other people regardless of the profit motive from the company.

And if you're talking about the Red Cross, their CEO is reported to make less than 700k/year.

That's not bad for running one of the largest medical non-profits in the world.

Cool, what was I gonna do with it? Unless we're selling to Dracula, owning external blood is highly regulated. So anyone buying has some credentials to use it.
