Well right. As in an operation where much blood is needed one would use a transfusion from multiple ‘donors’.

Actually I worked in a biologics facility in which we pooled human plasma and made various serums. Ie Anti Hemophilic factor, Human Albumin, and IVIG and more. I would think a thousand or more donors like my company pooled into a single tank would NOT be the way to go. To much chance of disease transfer. I would suspect just the number needed for one person to receive in a single transfusion.

I would imagine 20 year old college students who were tested and found disease free wouldn’t mind getting a grand or so for a unit of blood.

I would imagine you are correct. The problems begin with the underage and/or unwilling. . .

At one time I read a great deal of science fiction. The next step could be robbing toddlers of neurologicals to boost brainpower, apparently.
