Possibly “donation” because the payment isn’t guaranteed?

That’s not what donating means…

Company?? This is getting too much. I thought it was a public service.

Regular blood donation goes through the Red Cross, which is a nonprofit. This plasma donation happens through private companies though.

It’s a loophole for laws on selling body parts. You can’t sell the plasma so you donate the plasma and they pay you for the time it takes to collect, which to be fair is a hell of a lot longer than collecting blood.
