If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 Β΅g/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you're looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That's 1/40th of a grain of rice!

Too inefficient, I'm just going to pump it all out and start again with fresh blood.

The trick is to find a blood boy like Peter Thiel

Why would I want Peter Thiel as my blood boy?

Nowhere was it said that you had to give any blood back.

Plus you get free experimental life extension drugs and maybe after it’s done your retinas directly interface with Palantir
