Topic: Should a convicted sex offender be able to donate a kidney?

I would love to hear MC's opinion on this story that was on the news tonight:
> There are 500 people on dialysis waiting for the organ that could give them their life back. There are nowhere near enough donors. > But if you needed a kidney - would you care where it came from? > Would you refuse it if it had once been the kidney of a murderer, or a sex offender? > Should an organ donor be judged on their medical suitability or on moral grounds?
Basically a guy convicted of CP and "online grooming" was turned down by the health board because of his conviction.
Unfortunately that's all the text there is. I don't think the video will play outside of New Zealand.

I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to donate. In fact, I see that he wants to donate as a way for him to do something good for society, after he did something bad.

I agree. It's not like his kidney will turn it's recipient into a pedo.

There's no logical reason why he shouldn't be allowed to donate. In fact, he's actively trying to do something good here and being turned down.

unless he was a sex offender, then yes.
it'd suck getting an std from an infected donor, suck more for the doctor that pulled the thing out.
every other possibility yes

That would be a good conversation starter.
"You know, I'm part pedophile..."

He's a good guy for the most part, but he has the heart of a pedophile.

It believe that is the most bizarre decision anyone has made this year, and it will be hard to top.

I find it ridiculous to not agree with the health board. After all, their name implies the better good of my health and it's been scientifically proven that kidneys not only relate with one's paraphilias and sexual orientation, but majorly influence them too.
A little bit of research on the occult will also reveal how pedophiles are part of a big pagan cult that try to spread havoc through our children as much as possible by transmitting their cursed kidneys into harmless and law-abiding citizens, morphing them into new pedophiles hunting for more kids.
