super poo donor

I was going to say, "No, if you want to sell your ****, do it on eBay like everyone else!!"....

But a quick Google suggests that you do get paid, even in the UK.
However, you don't just turn up, **** through their letterbox and then leave, there's a whole battery of lab tests every three months and lifestyle regimes they insist you follow. It's sounds like quite a pain in the arse, to be honest, but I imagine that's what the payment is for.

Ah fair enough - I'd not what to be injected with hangover/kebab poo
 
Back in 2003 I took part in a clinical trial that was studying travellers diarrhoea (a particular strain of E. coli). The lab researchers had genetically modified this strain to remove the virulence factors (i.e. the genes that coded for the nasty antigens) and the study involved seeing whether this strain could be detected in the poo of recipients after they had drank culture medium containing this strain. So, after drinking a flask of it, I had to donate poo samples over the following weeks. When the study was finished, I was paid for my inconvenience, and then heading straight to the pub with my best friend. He enquired how much poo I had donated, and how much money I had received, and then checked the stocks and commodities page in that day's newspaper.....turns out, my poo was more valuable than gold and platinum.
 
Some of the dodgy take away food and out of date stuff I eat probably means my craps got more bacteria in it than the Yakult factory. I should get it valued.

You got done.

If they start making money from it you should demand royalties :P
 
Everyone thinking about signing up, you should note that your poo has to be healthy first like the person in the OP. If you have substandard poo, you're not getting on the donor list I imagine :p

I can do both at the same time, extremely talented man me.

Unfortunately, if anything patentable or sellable comes from lab research at universities (even if it's clinical), the university gets the rights to it and makes the money. Even the researchers get little or nothing financially from the work.....a name on the research paper at most.
Realistically, if there was a legitimate way I could make regular money from selling my poo, I'd be doing it.
 
Yes it is a thing, and a very important thing as well. I don't get this thread really. Is it because poo is funny? :rolleyes:
