Ironically, the otherwise healthy Rohn and his partner had just held a fundraiser for the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) at their hair salon. Though there was no indication he would live just a few more weeks, Rohn signed the donor card happily.
But when Rohn's sister contacted CORE to arrange for parts delivery she was asked about her brothers sexual history. The question seemed odd but Rohn lived openly as a gay man so his sister told the truth.
The CDC says 'men who have had sex with another man in the preceding 5 years' should be excluded 'regardless of their HIV antibody test results'.
So the FDA bans tissue donation from homosexuals as a result. CORE refused Rohn's parts! And Rohn's sister is crying discrimination...
What do you think?
