TRIGGER WARNING for medical trauma, abortion, human trafficking and needles. Thank you all for your sharing and vulnerability! In this new listener generated episode, Gaby reads and listens to your varying and harrowing experiences with selling your bodies to science.

Cory calls in to give the pros and cons of the reality of plasma donation including good money, fainting while waiting, and problematic practices around queerness and tattoos. Plus a BUNCH of experts weigh in: Is it ethical or necessary for pregnant people and babies to participate in national medical research? What should you consider when deciding to donate your body? What is the difference between sale, donation, and medical research and why can't they be conflated?For a full transcript, visit: https://bit.ly/3BNFAlVGaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoadBWM Instagram: @bwmpodBWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfbThe BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMERFind Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunnShop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!Bad with Money is produced, edited, sound engineered and mixed by Cumulus Podcast Network.
