This made me think of the Altered Carbon books, where some people intentionally get diseases for fun.

I'm currently re-reading the Altered Carbon books! I liked the series, some of the ideas were actually better, but I like noticing the differences too. The cartoon spin-off was hot garbage though.

The Culture series did it first 😉

I can’t recall the name but I recall a European movie (I saw it on cable television) where celebrities sell their skin to be grown in labs to be sold as meat for people to eat. The main character would go around finding sick celebrities, stealing their DNA and infecting themselves with the same illness.
