Always wondered why those places exist but there's nowhere that will pay you for whole blood. A little bit too on-the-nose?
Plasma has a longer shelf life than whole. A lot of the blood products extracted in America are sold elsewhere in the world so they prioritise the products that are easier and cheaper to ship around.
