Introduction to America's Blood Plasma Trade

America leads the world in blood plasma exports, contributing about 70% of the global supply. While this might sound heroic, it's not. Plasma is essential for treating many health conditions, but the rise of this trade says more about money than morality. The story behind it isn't just about saving lives; it's also about economic forces and survival strategies for many Americans. And trust me, it’s not all rainbows and charitable good vibes.
