I have recently come across this type of donation and have heard that one can be paid anything between $50-100( more if we hold a technical or doctorate degree). My question is that whether it is safe health wise? Aren't there chances of contracting diseases during or after the transfusion?

Yes I am aware of that. Even in Australia, they have a Human Tissue Act (1982) that forbids any kind of money transaction in lieu of blood, sperm or plasma donations. In my country there is not such a law to prohibit me from selling it.

@shiftmeup By the way, I cannot understand why it would be paid more if you have a doctorate degree. Blood has nothing to do with intelligence, and you are not necessarily smart when you have a doctorate degree -- look at me, if you doubt --.

Hi if your are in Usa,there is no probelm doing it
I use to do it.in florida iwas getting close to
$200-$100 a month for doing it.you get the blood part
back so you can do it twice a week.if you have
to be heathly to do it .they give you a exam to make sure
you are helathly..and no you can not get any disease
after doing it.number 1 is to make sure your protieen is up
if it not they will not take you.make sure you have a good meal before you
do it. i enjoy doing it.in Usa .the health dept does watch it.you do not need a degree
to donate plasma..all the plasam go in to a bag like when you doante blood.
