    At first glance, none.

    But then “willingness” and “money” rarely mix well. Yeah, there are humans “willing” to be paid for their plasma but it’s a marginalized part of the population trying to have just enough money to survive.

    I’m sorry. I’m trying not to ruin the meme any further.

      People donate blood, plasma, sperm and breast milk from all walks of life already. Some get paid too.

      If you want it to be about a particular group in can be, but even well off people donate/get money for their bodily fluids.

        Donation is one thing completely different than selling their fluids. There’s no incentive to exploit people when there’s not a payback in cash.

          And people sell them too already. They aren’t exploited.

          Yeah there will be people that try to abuse it, that applies to literally everything in life and should never be the reason to not do something.

              Unless they are forced to it can’t be exploitation.

              Now if they work health benefits into instead of just paying better wages, that would be more on the exploitation side. But thats the bad eggs ruining it for the other 98% that don’t abuse it.

                it’s definitely exploitation. you just don’t like the connotation. they are being exploited for their blood just like a well is exploited for oil a mountain is exploited for minerals and forests are exploited for wood.

                  Exploit has multiple meanings, exploiting a resource and exploiting someone in an underhand or unfair way do have the same phrase to explain them. But exploiting a resource is obviously much different than treating workers unfairly.

                  Verbs and nouns typically have different meanings for the same word, maybe time for an English refresher.

                    I’m using it correctly. don’t be condescending. you might think it’s a fair exploitation, but it’s exploitation nonetheless.

                    since you clearly went to a dictionary, you can see none of the definitions even mention “force”.

                    mounds and greens have nothing to do with this. we are only using the transitive verb here.
