I asked my vegan friend if they “swallow” and they said yes, because there was consent to do so. I’d go as far to extend that logic to breast milk being vegan too

If the former was for pleasure and is vegan, then surely the latter for nourishment is also vegan too. With the basis that both were consensual

I hadn't considered that particular substance. Would this make donated blood a vegan product?

From human to human? The sole purpose is to reduce animal (human) suffering. It is done willingly.
