I tried to donate/sell plasma, but they wouldn't let me! Just because I've had "cancer", and would "infect" other "healthy" "people".
Pssshhhhh!!!!!
Suck me out, and pay me, dammit!
Please note, in the US at least, if you're being paid for plasma then the plasma is non transfusable, and is being sold for medical research or cosmetics.
Wow, is that some legal limitation?
Yes. People are willing to lie for money, and a lot of those questions asked for transfusable blood products are asked to make sure donating is safe for both you and the recipient. Now some questions asked only impact certain blood products, aspirin only impacts the utility of your ~~plasma~~ platelets for example. Now those paid plasma centers ask a lot fewer questions as they only need to make sure you'd be okay parting with the plasma.
It's regulated by the FDA and lying on those blood donation forms is a crime as its both a legal document and considered tampering with the blood supply. As with everything in the medical field there is a required paper trail.
EDIT: my blood product in my example was wrong. It has been updated. If you're curious how I know so much about blood donation, my roommate works as a phlebotomist at a nearby blood bank.
there has been extremely rare niche incident where cancer was spread from person to person and 1 unlikely where an animal gave it to a person who had aids. one was organ transplants the other, surgeon nicked his hand and developed a tumor(apprently it was a minor issue since its only deadly to the host it came form,)
Interestingly, isn't there some form of contagious cancer among tasmanian devils?
iirc regular ass dogs have an infectious disease that comes from doggy cancer but (iirc) does not exhibit cancer-like symptoms in doggy recipients, it’s just another bug to catch
