Emily continued: "After filling out the form, we need you to answer some health questions to ensure that your physical condition is suitable for donating blood. These questions mainly include recent health conditions, whether you are taking medications, travel history, etc.

"

While the nurse was talking, Xia Xiu had already filled it out quickly.

In the personal information column, you can choose from the public identity databases of the Administration and the Federation and fill it in.

The remaining few amused him.

Because this was the first time he came into contact with the "unpaid blood donation", a completely Terran blood supply chain.

There are various records on the questionnaire:

· Recent health conditions and history of any chronic illnesses.

·Have you ever had any infectious diseases (such as hepatitis, AIDS, etc.)?

·Have you had any fever, cough or other symptoms of infection recently?

· Whether you smoke, drink, use drugs, etc.

·Do you have any recent travel history to areas with high incidence of infectious diseases?

·Have you had contact with anyone who may be carrying an infectious disease?

………………

All of the above give people the impression that the blood transfusion recipient only needs to consider blood transfusion, but the blood donor has many more things to consider.

While watching, Xia Xiu sketched out various options, and at the same time started to use the [Don Quixote Module] habitually to induce thinking. He liked to induce quietly, and also liked to sit behind the scenes and play chess.

[Xin Liezhi] There is a reason why he fell in love with him. If he were not wearing the skin of the fourth sword holder, he would be more suitable to be that [Champion].

The two always like to blend something like salt in the inner soul of a living being, and then draw the value they want from it.

In other words, life is sometimes their currency.

Emily, the nurse beside her, quickly became a "talkative" person.

Even when she was facing an "ordinary-looking weirdo", she suddenly felt a desire to talk.

A desire to communicate, export emotions, and export value out of one's own job.

"What do you think of Terra's blood circulation system?" Emily suddenly asked Xia Xiu.

When she spoke, she didn't even use the honorifics used in the service industry, and her face was filled with a new expression, one of being a teacher.

"Hmm..., an operating system that matches the current 'ball situation'." Xia Xiu pretended to be stupid, and after pondering for a while, he replied in agreement.

In response to Xia Xiu's slightly strange answer, Emily could only cough a few times in embarrassment.

Then, she ignored Xia Xiu's words just now, as if chatting casually, and began to explain her rich opinions, hoping to calm the blood donor in front of her.

"The voluntary blood donation mechanism is the basis of the modern blood supply system. You know that before the blood supply system was not perfect, blood donation mainly relied on family members or paid blood donors. Due to the lack of strict testing and management, paid blood donation often led to the risk of blood-borne diseases.

"

"In the past several large-scale human wars on Terra, in the sea of ​​​​blood created by a large number of deaths, people discovered blood types and established a huge blood system based on this.

In the early days, the storage capacity of blood banks was enough to make blood a major weapon of war, allowing soldiers to survive and fight.

Phlebotomy clinics are offering cash to people willing to donate a pint of blood to cope with the surge in demand.

Blood is readily available, which has an immediate benefit - doctors can perform operations on larger areas than before, and blood loss is no longer an obstacle to the surgical process. This development has led the entire medical field to make great strides forward.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, this also means that the blood collection center has become a big business.

Blood collection points sprouted up in slums on the outskirts of major cities, becoming as common as check cashing booths and pawn shops in slums today.

Various national unions negotiated blood prices with the government, and before long, professional blood donors were supplying blood in major cities across the subcontinent.

At that time, the supply of blood could save lives, and few people were bothered by the ethics of the supply chain."

"Indeed, only slums can sell blood, but some people do it voluntarily, some people have no choice, and some people are coerced by the environment."

Xia Xiu added like a compliment.

"……certainly."

Emily choked, glanced at the blond young man who blinked innocently, and then continued:

"Paid blood donation will of course be replaced, especially in poor areas, which may cause vulnerable groups to donate blood out of financial pressure. The most important point is that it may lead to social distrust of the blood supply system, and the public may be worried about the safety of blood.

safety and quality, thereby affecting overall blood donation rates.”

"To sum it up, I'm just worried that it's not clean - both poor and rich people have this idea." Xia Xiu put it more straightforwardly.

Emily was a little dissatisfied with the blond young man's directness.

She always felt that saying some things too nakedly would make people feel uncomfortable.

It was like my younger self taking politics class for the first time.

After being exposed to the nakedly violent nature of the ‘state’, there is an instinctive resistance to the depiction of its essence.

Macro-narratology is magnificent, while realpolitik is cold to the core.

Emily glanced at Xia Xiu, who shrugged and showed an innocent smile.

She could only hold her breath in her heart and continued:

"Indeed, everyone is worried about being dirty. With the advancement of blood transfusion technology and the deepening of understanding of blood-borne diseases, people gradually realize the importance of voluntary blood donation. Unpaid blood donors are usually healthier and do not have high-risk behaviors, thus reducing the risk of blood-borne diseases

Risk of disease - Generally, blood donors like you will have to undergo a physical examination in addition to the report. Of course, the physical examination is free."

After finishing speaking, Emily paused for a few seconds to make sure that the other party was no longer using her witty eloquence before she continued:

“Make voluntary donation routine. Paying money for blood of any kind is considered coercive and carries heavy fines. In addition, there is a complex system for voluntary donation. People donate blood at blood banks and sign up for organ donation.

card, and donating the body to a scientific institution after death, all for free.

"Those who exchange body parts for money may end up in jail."

"The law is clear and clear that buying human bodies is wrong."

"Under such a system, authorities may be able to trace a donor in their records, but the donor's information is sealed and protected from public scrutiny. The donor's donation saved the life of the surgical patient,

But it is impossible for people outside the hospital to find out the identity of the blood donor.

The blood was stripped of the donor's identity, marked with a barcode, and poured into sealed plastic bags."

"What the patient buys is a blood unit, not a part of the human body."

"In this way, the blood recipient will not feel that he owes a favor to a specific donor, but will feel grateful to the blood donation system in general, and to the doctor who performed the surgery in particular."

Emily's body showed some kind of touch and excitement, while Xia Xiu lost interest in listening when he heard the other party discussing the law, and instead immersed himself in writing the list in his hand.

first.

The law has its shortcomings when it comes to fair profits in the human body business.

And there are two fatal flaws in it.

First, individuals cannot buy or sell directly, but doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, lawyers, managers, etc. can all set market prices for the services they provide.

It's like the patient did not pay for the heart according to legal regulations (organs cannot be bought and sold), but he definitely paid for the heart transplant.

Hospitals and medical institutions increasingly profit from organ transplants, and some even distribute the profits to shareholders.

Everyone in the supply chain makes money, only the actual donors don't get a dime.

After explicitly prohibiting the purchase of human body parts, hospitals can basically obtain them for free.

Second, moral dilemma.

Donors of blood donate blood, but face moral oppression.

Yes, as a contributor, you are sometimes oppressed by social morality.

Maybe morality is not always there, so fewer and fewer people are willing to donate blood.

At this time, another form of paid substitute will appear among the free ones.

People also discovered another embarrassing situation. They discovered that blood did not flow to those who were most in need.

Sometimes contributors will be reduced to a situation where they have no blood available.

Ischemia has become the norm now. Faced with the lack of blood available in public blood banks, patients have no choice but to buy blood, and doctors have difficulty intervening. The reason behind this is the public's misunderstanding of voluntary blood donation and the dilemma of the blood donation system.

The mechanism always emphasizes that people should love their neighbors unconditionally as they love themselves.

They love their neighbors, but they find that the love hidden among their neighbors is not equal.

Has the paid market been eliminated?

No!
