Agreed. A bit skeevy on the face of it. I've often wondered if something like that is why Dick Cheney is still alive. "Bring in the next snackrifice!" Ugh.
In the show "Silicon Valley", a satire of it's namesake, there's a billionaire tech ceo (like Google level) who gets weekly blood transfusions from a college student in great health.
If you'd kindly adjust your tinfoil hat, there's a lot of conspiracy theories out there that blood transfusions from healthy young people are a regular "health service" used by the elite.
That's a real thing, they were making fun of Peter Thiel.
There's a non satire versions of this around.
