I used to donate blood but now plasma is the bigger of the two in demand. It cost over $800 for it in the hospital and plasma banks can draw twice a week from a client. It is screened for diseases and you must be in good health to sell plasma. I supplement my income this way and it is easy. I take a book along to read and this is a restful time for me. I know that my blood is clean due to the intense screening that it goes through.
Do you donate blood or sell your plasma?

Well, unfortunately in my country we do not get paid to donate blood... All that we get is a snack afterwards. We do have some benefits, we get a card that states that a person is a regular blood downer and that card allows us to pay less when going to the hospital and stuff like that...
I tried to donate blood once but I had a cold some days earlier and they said it was not safe.
I would like for them to give a small reward (cash preferably) for people who donate blood and plasma, I think it would really help the lack of blood that we sometimes experience in hospitals...

When I lived in Oklahoma there was one place that paid for blood donations. Here in Oregon they have a plasma center that pays for the plasma to be separated and the platelets put back into the body. It is a company out of Boca Raton, Florida that processes this product. It is dtermined by body weight on how much they pay each week and how much can be taken. I am at the breaking point since I am just above the 170 lb. dividing line. When I get below that weight then they pay less.
For what they sell that blood for, they should pay a small stipend for it. I think we got about a $20 for it in 1971. It sure helped out in my college days.

I am a regular blood donor. I try to donate annually. In Singapore, blood plasma is also donated not purchased. However, recipents will need to find their own donors. I doubt anyone sells it locally here.
