I don’t have an incurable autoimmune disease (that I know of).

How much will he pay for my blood?

127

Minimum wage.

44

And split shifts so you can hydrate and regenerate plasma on your own time.

Lol. The last thing you're getting out of this is enough hours to claim benefits!

You also have to sign a document saying you appreciate the opportunity.

You don't get paid for blood. You can get 100 a week for plasma.

Lol, this isn't some socialist paradise where there is a lower limit to what your body is harvested for. This will be compensated per gig-economy rules: less than the cost of food you need to ingest to produce that blood.
