| By donating a large amount of blood, it is likely that at least some of it will not be required during the regular events and that it will - after expiring - be thrown out. Blood expires after roughly 30 days and is at that point no longer of a high enough quality that it can be safely used for patients. Instead of having it destroyed, research institutes may buy such blood at a low prices if the quality is still good enough for their research. | By donating a large amount of blood, it is likely that at least some of it will not be required during the regular events and that it will - after expiring - be thrown out.

| - | To filter blood in this way, it must be donated to the research institute, for example by bringing in members of a herd to donate blood. This blood is then stored for one month, and during this time, it may be used to help patients. What is left, instead of being destroyed, is purchased by the research institute for "research" (more accurately, consumption). This type of purchase is similar to the Market Purchase, but has a delay of one month and is paid for out of the profits on the original donation. For simplicity, the amount of blood that is thrown out is roughly half of what is put in. Thus, you gain one point of blood for every two points of blood put in. | + | To filter blood in this way, it must be donated to the research institute, for example by bringing in members of a herd to donate blood.

| - | One advantage is that blood filtered in this way will have been tested for pathogens and is therefore safe for consumption. Another advantage is that donation filtering actually increases the supply of blood available for patients but this comes with a potential disadvantage: in special cases where there is a blood shortage in Berlin due to large accidents or the likes, the blood banks are not obligated to sell back the blood just donated. Due to the large stored supply, this would only happen in the most dire of events. Blood that has gone past its expiration date can still be consumed for blood points, but has lost its taste and is generally considered "absolutely disgusting" by Kindred. | + | One advantage is that blood filtered in this way will have been tested for pathogens and is therefore safe for consumption.

| A fitting location needs to be secured and acquired. Currently, the best location appears to be Alastar Mac Caoileann's domain, which is right next to the Charite Hospital, but space needs to be made available. Acquiring such a location may require purchasing a building or finding some other way to gain ownership of it. | A fitting location needs to be secured and acquired.
