The problem with that point of view is that Eugene's life is an entire pizza, and you are basing your judgment on a slice or two.

1. It's more like a large number of thin slices, plus the more thorough slices that we've seen of his afterlife, plus how other characters describe Eugene's pizza as a whole.
2. You're basing your judgement on the receipt taped to the box. When other people point out that the slices we can see don't match the receipt, you just say that the rest of the pizza is definitely what the receipts says. It's an argument from ignorance; we can't prove that Eugene wasn't a saint whenever he was offscreen, so the receipt must be correct. Even though the very existence of a review process means the receipts are not inerrant.
Point 2 is important. You're perfectly willing to question our evidence, but curiously have provided none of your own. And that kind of argument happens to be a pet peeve of mine.

So what would happen if someone who wasn't maimed and close to death got an infusion of fresh troll blood?

Fresh troll blood seems to heal whatever wounds you have with trollflesh. Considering that you can't get a blood transfusion without breaking the skin (or having some kind of serious medical condition), I'd be willing to bet that you'd end up with a troll-scar in the shape of whatever entry method was used to get access to your blood. Possibly there would be some internal changes, too.

Consequences would likely be more serious if the subject was physically immature. Troll blood is not approved for use in children. Do not take troll blood if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. That sort of thing.

one drugging, one kidnapping, a period of imprisonment,

Yeah, she should have just killed them.

That would be one crime instead of three. It's basic math, killing people would have been less evil than giving them drugs.
