    i've had friends do it and i think its like 20 bucks for your first time then you can do it another time for 20 bucks and if you do it a 3rd time (1 month peroid) its like 40. But thats probably not right i just kinda remeber them talkin about it a little

    I'm not sure how much they give you, but last I heard it was around $50.

    Why do they call it "donating plasma" when they are paying you for it?

    They can do it Aventis Bio-Services in Stadium Village. $20 for the first donation and $25 for the second. After that, money is based on regularity. In a seven-day period, people will receive $15 for the first donation and $30 for the next.

    although I just bought my STi...I have been painfully contemplating the idea of selling. It is a huge pain in the ass...but so fun to have. Anyone else coming to this reality?

    You have to qualify to donate plasma. You have to have a certain hemoglobin count.

    And you have to meet a minimum weight. One girl I knew in college kept change in her pockets and wore Army boots. Then she'd call me to get her because she'd be too dizzy when she left. :roll:

    Sad story about the semen is that some savant donated and all these women chose his sprem and half of them ended up with mentally handicapped children. Doh!

    I made an appointment and waited 45 minutes through a consultation to donate plasma only to find out you can't donate plasma if you've been tattooed in the last 2 years I believe it was.

    I have been doing it for two years. Here it is 20 the first time and 40 the second time during a week. In the summer here they make it 25 and 40 so its 260 a month. I love it and don't really notice any change unless I try to work out or do something active right afterwards. I would tell anyone that needs a little extra spending cash to jump on it. Here we have wireless internet or you can just watch movies or get paid to study. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

    I did it for about a year. Its not bad. $20 for an hour if your time. I don't see how someone could get so dizzy from it, being that you get your red and white blood cells back.

    When they give you the half liter of saline at the end its quite interesting. Room temp liquid feels like ice water running through your veins.

    Fondune is right, imagine how many children you've had that you will never meet - what if you saw a random kid one day that semi-resembled you, you would think "noooo...it couldn't be" but then again, it might - you would never know. It's amazing when you have your own kids and the things they do and the way they look - the shape of their feet or their sense of humor is just like you and you can't get past the fact that you actually created them. What if you never got to meet that child and you never knew what you had made? Kind of sad...
    On the other hand if a woman and a man wanted to have children badly but the man could not produce effective sperm, you could be considered a blessing.

    It's kind of controversial, I would say hold off on the sperm donating until you have your own children and you can comprehend what you are really doing. Not to say that you don't understand it but when you experience something so phenominal there is a certain realization that takes place and then you will know. Maybe you won't care but it would be better to know for sure than to have any regrets.

    I don't weight enough to give blood, and if I produced spermies I wouldn't donate them, I don't need people coming after me for child support. I don't know how I would feel if I married someone who had kids they don't know about.

    Donating Sperm or Eggs is a very personal decision, while the point has been made that you may never get to meet your "child..." think about the fact that what makes a child yours is the love you give it (adopting a child will give you a child with no matching DNA, but I am sure those that do love them the same). Not to mention, think about all the people that couldn't expierence the joy of having a child without the donations of sperm or eggs for those who were born infertile.

    When it comes down to it, it is a personal decision, not one that you should let others try and influence you on. As for cash, Plasma can get you like $60 a week, easy money and it saves lives!
