Is the creepy lable being attached to this idea because transfusion services are only currently used by people with higher income/assets? Would this still be creepy if poorer people had access to it, or would we call it a human right? I don't think it's necessarily wrong to receive a cosmetic(?) blood transfusion if the parties involved agree to it, I don't think it's any less creepy than cosmetic surgery.

Edit to say: if there's any efficacy in blood transfusions being useful for neurophysiological benefits, then this procedure should be available for medicinal purposes like enemas I think it's more efficient (and economical for a business) to use synthetic blood, though.
