Donate Plasma
You can donate plasma up to three times a week for about fifty dollars per donation. Check out DonatingPlasma.org to find your nearest donation center. Giving blood and plasma are good for your health because it rids your body of older or damaged cells, forcing your body to generate new healthier cells during the recovery process. Donating can also reduce harmful cholesterol levels.
Donate Stool
If you live in the Boston area, you can donate stool for forty dollars a specimen at OpenBiome.org. The stool is used as part of a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), or a stool transplant. The fecal matter from a healthy person is transplanted via enema, colonoscopy, or stool infusion into another person who needs it. This process helps introduce healthy bacteria into the colon of the recipient.
Women Can Donate Their Eggs
Women can donate their eggs to other women who do not produce healthy eggs, but who want to have children. The pay is around fourteen thousand dollars per donation; however, when I was a student at the University of Southern California (USC), I saw advertisements in the school paper offering up to one hundred thousand dollars per donation.
Men Can Donate Sperm
Men can donate sperm for about one thousand five hundred a month depending on how often they make deposits. Check out SpermBankDirectory.com to find the closest sperm donation center. I tried this in college and only made it to the fourth page of a fifty-page questionnaire when I found out I couldn't make a donation because I was in my first year in a four-year university, and they didn't accept applicants until their second year.
Donate Your Body After You Die
Donate your body to science, and you will get a free cremation when you pass away. Check out BioGift and Science Care. When I was in school, I had the opportunity to work on several of the corpses in my classes as part of my training. If it weren't for selfless people, we wouldn't have bodies for new medical staff to practice on and research to be conducted on.
