Obama and the Democrats are pushing for gays to be able to donate blood and organs, as to not, "discriminate", if I remember correctly.
I feel horrible for the person who received the kidney and the pain and stress they must be under knowing someone went out and had unprotected gay sex weeks before donating a vital organ.
The gay/illegal immigrant/Muslim/Liberal/Environmental agenda will neuter you, then bankrupt you, then eventually, kill you.
What idiot wouldn't already know this.
Donated blood and removed organs for transplants should be thoroughly tested before reuse.
>>Political correctness (meaning making sure testing was done 1 week before donation) overrules common sense and now we have a someone who needlessly has a life-threatening illness. <<
Shorter version: Political Correctness kills people.
I have a friend who got hep C from blood during heart surgery in the 80’s.....try and get someone’s particular blood for a surgery - you cannot....they just put it into the “pool” for general use, and you get whatever comes to you.
Is there a test that can detect HIV that soon?
Either way, you should not be having unprotected gay sex if you’re going to donate an organ!!!
Lawmakers are so intent on making illegal song downloads a felony but this sort of thing goes right by. The donor should be charged with attempted murder.

I’m sorry, but putting someone at serious risk of contracting HIV, which is incurable and expensive to treat, in this case, the rights of the public health should be way more important than individual rights, sort of how it was right in the late 19th/early 20th centuries to put a person infected with tuberculosis under house arrest or quarrantine them. We didn’t care about granting this TB infectee his/her rights so much as we cared about protecting everyone else from contracting a disease that was, without the development of antibiotics, fatal.
It’s pretty sad how political correctness is pretty much about flushing the true order of public health procedures down the toilet.
Would the transplant recipient be considered a “little” gay now?
Homosexuality... the disease (voluntary) that keeps on giving.
wow. This is exactly why we need more restrictions.
This is a tragedy arising from the dimwittedness of a jerk who appears/happens to be gay.
The leap made by most posters here is truly unfortunate.
And I’m not defending (or attacking) the donor being gay. To me it’s simply irrelevant.
In other news, homo activists insist on lifting a ban on homos giving during blood drives...........
“Why don’t they want to share?” one activist was heard to whine.....
Exactly.
Hope this results in a HUGE lawsuit against the morons that recruited gays to donate kidneys. Absolutely stupid to let a ‘high risk lifestyle’ person to infect others.
By the way, if homosexuality is “high risk behavior” how exactly is it natural? Shouldn’t we be banning it like cigarettes or at least warning the public of the health effects of engaging in this dangerous lifestyle choice?
By the way, among the egregious failures here is to let 11 weeks lapse between the test and the donation. I don’t know how the process would be improved, but that is the first place I would look ...
The donor should be tried for attempted murder or at least aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Why he isn’t is beyond comprehension.
Put this one on the “PC-caused death” list right after Jerod Loughner & Tuscon, which is below Ft Hood, etc.
I’d want the testing done in the hospital’s pre-op center before either of us was carted off to the OR.
To others who I suspect will take me on, I am exiting now and won’t engage further. In my absence, please refer to Occams Razor, explained here:

The more expedient explanation for this tragic outcome is that the perpertrator has a wreckless disregard for the lives of others. Anyone is welcome to assert instead that the tragic outcome is that a homosexual perpetrator has such a wreckless disregard.
But, as it turns out, on an objective and common sense level my reasoning trumps yours.
For a variety of other CONSERVATIVE reasons, as well, mine is the better explanation. My approach puts accountability where it belongs, on the wreckless behavior rather than the homosexuality. Taking the latter approach provides the perpetrator with an excuse.
Have a great day, folks.
“It’s just about love.”
HIV is the one disease for which they WILL NOT STOP until they find a cure.
The Gay Lobby knows that unless and until HIV is cured, they will be second class citizens, and never equal in the eyes of the law, or the perceptions of most voting idiots.
