Change the policy of automatically excluding homosexuals from donation of organs and tissue, and blood donation .

The Issue

We are excluding the possibility of perfectly good organs from benefiting and potentially saving the lives of those who are dying or have a poor quality of life simply because the donor happens to be a homosexual. We have started this petition because the FDA regulations are out of date and impeding individuals from receiving life saving organs ans tissue.We can make a difference by forcing these rules to be changed and better testing measures to be enforced. Far to many people are dying while perfectly good organs are being wasted due to the sexual orientation of the donor. 

There has also been a ban on homosexual men from donating blood since 1977
