Totally irresponsible. But I expected no less from this bunch.
What has changed that originally forced the FDA to impose the restrictions?
Nothing.
They have put countless people at risk.
So now “Gay Rights” trump public safety. I think all those who belong to banned groups (Hello some U.S. veterans) should demand all bans be lifted. It will be interesting to see the FDA’s response.
Well this is just great. I hope I never need blood. I don’t want an early death just because the government allows people with deadly STDs to donate blood.
Hunkey friggin’ dory.
Here comes the AIDS epidemic.
If I ever have a transfusion, I will demand a non-gay-friendly service.
I guess I won’t be planning any surgery in the near future.
why don’t we just all inject ourselves directly with HIV.
the destruction of America by the left goes on unabated.
This sounds like a terrible idea to me, then again I am told I am a homophobic, so maybe that`s it.
I did not know that I was a homophobic or that I hated my father.
What’s to prevent a person who has chosen a homosexual lifestyle from just lying? I imagine legal consequences keep away some liars.
I am curious if blood banks can turn away homosexuals on their own initiative and what procedures they could have in place to detect liars.
If blood banks have legal authority to make their own decisions, I see a business opportunity.
Morons. Next up: a market for non-homosexual blood. Prices will soar.
This is a major victory for gay civil rights,” said I. Glenn Cohen, a law professor at Harvard University who specializes in bioethics and health. “We’re leaving behind the old view that every gay man is a potential infection source.” He said, however, that the policy was “still not rational enough.”
It’s irrational. There is no civil rights issue involved. There is a big public health issue, and as usual, stupidity rules.
Yet one more reason to steer clear of Ductors.
.
no rule about only gay recepients?
This FDA like all the departments and agencies that Obama intimidates is not serving the public anymore, it's serving the the fascist left.
Anyone who gets AIDS as a result of this change will sue.
Will Obama and Holder be the first in line to donate? Just speculatin’!
Why do I think of that song from Team America?
“AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, everybody has AIDS, AIDS, AIDS.
My grandma has AIDS, my mother has AIDS, my father has AIDS.
AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, everybody has AIDS, AIDS, AIDS.”
Is there currently testing of all blood that identifies “bad” blood?
Sheesh...this country's getting hacked at from every side! You must pay for Insurance and now risk gays givng tainted blood!
If they could prove there is no chance of people getting AIDS from blood from gay donors, then I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
But they can’t do that, can they?
