Are you too promiscuous to be an organ donor?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might think so.
Newly proposed guidelines take donors’ sexual activity into account. Organs coming from anyone who had sex with two or more people in the past year would be deemed “high-risk.”
The proposal is designed to protect recipients from sexually transmitted diseases. But some fear it will do more harm than good.
Some are arguing that the rule will limit the amount of organs donated by certain groups; especially from young people.
With the new guidelines, every college student in America will be high risk. Right now, it’s probably a prostitute or a guy with a needle in his arm. Next time, it will be just a young guy.”
What is more important, quality of quantity?
