Canadian Blood Services manages the blood supply in all provinces except Québec. Last year, it partnered with a company to begin paying people for blood plasma. In this episode, I speak with Peter Jaworski, Associate Teaching Professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, about the ethics of paying for blood plasma.
