Next: Soylent Green

Michiganians mine bodies for cash to make ends meet | detnews.com | The Detroit News: "As Michigan's economy continues to suffer, people are offering themselves up as medical guinea pigs for a quick buck to make ends meet. Some are selling plasma, others their hair for hundreds on the Internet, while others take the more extreme road by wanting to sell their eggs or participate in medical studies in exchange for payment and free medical exams."

What a relief -- I thought at first it was going to be something about a SOYLENT GREEN remake -- um, I mean, "reimagining."

I've sold plasma. The money isn't that great and it leaves you drained--no pun.
