Is Ian advocating fraud?

Yay plasma donation!

I only did it when I was a college student, and in the army. But I don't donate blood anymore because I think they should offer money for the blood, not cookies and juice. The ladies taking the blood out of me are getting paid, why not me too?

They do offer money for the blood.  Within 2 blocks of my college there was a place which bought blood for $10 and another place which bought plasma for around $20.

$10 for whole blood is a rip off. You can only donate/sell blood once every two months or so. You can sell plasma twice a week.

I used to "donate" plasma 2x/week back in college, when $25 for drinking money was actually a worthwhile investment of 2 hours' time weekly
