Does the FDA get a say in this?
Don’t “medical devices” get regulated by them?
How could blood and semen be exempted for oversight?
Up until recently, the public attitude and perception towards blood donations was it was an altruistic , free volunteer donation to the Red Cross.
The rise of bio science and paid blood donations has created a class of semi professional blood donors who sell blood and plasma for money.
There are more regulations and protections on milk cows than paid for blood donors who also tend to be down on their luck people, homeless or drug addicts.
Criminal sanctions for knowingly selling AODS tainted blood is not vindictive, it's a public health tool to get people who are knowingly selling infected blood into our blood banks off the streets.
Otherwise, they just keep on selling their blood no matter how many times they are caught.,P. BTW, the only reasons any person would knowingly donate their AIDS tainted blood for free to the Red Cross are pretty nefarious.
