This text focus on the Spanish regulation of Blood donation. Our aim is to defend that, given the fact that in our state paid blood donations are forbidden while the importation of blood and its products ―especially plasma― coming from remunerated donations is permitted, the aforementioned legislation entails several consistency issues. Paradoxically, establishing a civic duty to donate blood would be more congruent with the legislation in force and its underlying principles than the present situation.
