Trafficking In Our Backyard

Ever considered how global economics might connect to the blood in our veins?

In a surprising twist, the United States is actually the world's largest exporter of human blood for plasma donations, contributing close to 70% of the global supply. This often-overlooked export is valued at over $20 billion annually, making it a significant part of the US economy. European countries, in contrast, largely ban compensation for blood donations, creating an interesting divergence in global policies.

Now, ponder the juxtaposition: blood exports boosting an economy, while ethical debates on compensated donations continue. How does this hidden pattern affect global health and economics? Delve deeper and see what other connections you might uncover.
