I find your coarseness a little surprising. Are you not aware that a person can AIDS for some time before it shows up in tests? I've read various times, but it can be weeks or even a few months. Do you think it's responsible to allow blood or organs donated from a person who is much, much more likely to have AIDS than someone who is not a homosxual?
Even the Red Cross won't take blood from men who have sex with men. For that very reason.
Plus, there are a great number of other blood borne diseases that homosexuals are prone to.
Deathly ill, when AIDS had no name, and blood was not being screened, I had to sign my life away to get platelets. I took them. But if I didn't have to, I damn sure wouldn't.
But, like you freema, when one is dying there really isn't much to lose.
Which was my point on my earlier post, jeremiah. We have a shortage of organ donors, and people die waiting all the time. If we want to let someone know from whom the organ is being taken, and let them decide, fine. But I think, IF I were dying without it, I would take that chance.
You wouldn't?
