How unbelievably selfish can an "enlightened" university professor be? This story answers that question.

Math professor, eh? Perhaps he’s a bit weak on probabilities. Could he be a liberal? Oh, now it makes sense.

Why does anyone even listen to this man? Why isn’t he fired for being stupid?

Maybe, if they REALLY want to, they could donate blood. Then they could throw it out. Or is it that they want to infect everyone else with AIDS? Or are we supposed to believe that AIDS is just a conspiracy theory? I bet it’s that ....

They couldn’t express their philosophy more clearly: sodomy is holier than life itself.

A ban that he said amounts to unlawful discrimination.
Yeah right.
He has a constitutional right to make everyone in America die of aids.

Yeah, let’s ban blood tranfusions so friggin a$$hole Luttman won’t feel discriminated against. What if one of his boyfriends needs blood? There won’t be any and he will die. Hmm.

Funny thing is that military personnel who have been in Europe can’t donate either.

"Math professor Rick Luttmann was not one of them."Hey professor, do the math. Don't endanger America because your feelings are hurt.
Best bet will be to donate your own blood and have it frozen or get it from a family member that you know is safe.

Hey Rick! Go back to the bath house and cry on somebody's loins. You and our blighted kind are not only diseased in spirit but more likely than anyone else to be diseased of flesh and blood, as well.

Jeeze, I've donated lotsa times, I always look on it as an onerous duty. I remember when my father had a transfusion and I'm grateful to the people who took the time and endured the inconvenience.
What a self-centered abomination this jerk is.

The Red Cross and blood banks across the nation, including Blood Bank of the Redwoods, support lifting the lifetime ban on blood donations from such men, said Kent Corley, spokesman for Blood Bank of the Redwoods. Current HIV tests screen blood with minimal problems, he said. THAT is the most disturbing part of the article.

What?
I was “discriminated” against for years because of countries I had been in. I had been “discriminated” against against because of Malaria. He might not care about HIV, but the rest of us do.

I don't know the exact reason for that. But I have no problem with it. They can refuse anyone they want. I would rather err on the side of caution. Having your offer to give blood declined does not violate any right.
