    Aside: I think it’s total bullshit that in the US among many other countries, people can only donate blood for free and are urged to as a good deed, but companies are free to take your donation and make massive profits from it and financially burden the receiving patient. I don’t think blood donors should get a cut of the profit, that’s not my point, I’m saying that if we’re giving our blood for free as a “good deed” and it’s considered unethical for us to make money from it, then should the companies processing it not be held to the same standard?
