Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one's personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there's just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.

Especially when there's all these "adrenochrome" and "vampire" crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.

Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it's restricted to the elite, and if it doesn't then we're negatively impacting the donor's health for no reason.

Oh yeah, I mean, obviously, no contention there.
