There has got to be a less zero-sum solution than donating to someone else your own PFAS contaminated plasma


They are not receiving plasma (or plasma products) because their short-term future looks so rosy - by their metrics, it's almost certainly positive-sum.


If they survive they can just donate their own plasma and PFAS later. One of the rare instances where a pyramid scheme makes sense. Every generation has a larger pool of untouched blood in which to hold our PFAS.


Bloodletting comes to mind, then


I guess the ancients were on to something when they used to let out the bad humors


Human biological products (esp incl blood products) are a significant export product from the USA. Won't help Europe though because EU is one of the biggest importers.
