I wonder what it would cost in the US to have a pint of blood taken - I can't donate. Guess I could do it myself...

I'm not sure there are any regulations around opting to do that in the US. Do you have a phlebotomist friend? If so, they might do it for you, but it can be risky and they might not want to take the risk, get sued, etc.

It is an interesting question. Are there companies that draw and discard?
