In all the testimony I have heard this morning, nothing convinces me of the need to exclude some people who have engaged in high-risk behaviours and not other types of people who have also engaged in high-risk behaviours such as heterosexuals who have had various partners.
I understand that we must be certain about the quality of an organ that we are giving to a recipient, who is very vulnerable as well. Why not group all high-risk behaviours together, including those engaged in by heterosexuals? Just because people at risk are mainly in the gay community, why target only that community for exclusion?
