I have never been paid -- and would never accept money for my blood. I donate because I like to do so.

However, it has long been a way for college students, people down on their luck to make money. Unfortunately, far too few people donate blood without an incentive.

I read an article about plasma collection stations that set up right on the US side of the border with Mexico. Mothers come over and sell their plasma to buy shoes for their children.

Who am I to judge?
