Toronto's declaration of a paid-plasma-free zone highlights concerns about vulnerable individuals being exploited, as paying for plasma donations could lead to increased dependency on this income.
Coun. Chris Moise emphasizes the risk of exploitation by stating, 'Many, many people go to a blood clinic as often as they can so they can collect a paycheque strictly for the money.'
Canadian Blood Services is expanding paid plasma sites in Ontario despite local opposition, as their operations are exempt from the province's Voluntary Blood Donations Act.
While three provinces have laws against paid plasma, Ontario's exemption for Canadian Blood Services raises questions about the efficacy of such regulations in protecting individuals.
