Blood donations and research studies: Exploitng

[Agent provocateur]

I remember a scene in Michael Moore's Roger & Me when Moore interviewed some kids standing outside of this building and he asked them what they were doing and they said something like, "We're going to donate blood. We get 15 dollars and if we come back on the appointed time we get 5 dollars more." Well these days I've been noticing how some poor people have give blood for money or to hire themselves out as guinea pigs to corporations to performall kinds of experiments on them for money. What do you all think about this bullshit? I think it is a travesty. Fucking corporations make me angrier everyday.

ya, CBC had an encore presentation of a documentary on poor Chinese people selling blood, and now the HIV/Aids rate has hit epedemic proportions, just because the government officials are corrupt!

A man in the village took in 52 orphans who lost their parents to AIDS, and their plight was broadcast around the globe. People donated $200,000 U$ and the government made him shut down the orphanage in his home and took the money!
