The Rules

Links to news stories from...

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

With a solid podcast and YouTube video under my belt, you can sell it for medical purposes. The medical industry needs it. They even export it to other country's medical systems.

Medical purposes in this case is manufactured blood products.

Directly transfused blood must be volunteer donations but concentrated clotting agents and such can be made from paid plasma. The assumption was that the process introduces more safeguards but the assumption is, or was, provaby wrong.

Technically speaking it is legal to use paid plasma for transfusion, it just needs to be marked as such, but it hardly ever happens in legitimate medical institutions.
