An extreme version of this is: What should the German health service do if someone says they are willing to donate a kidney as long as it doesn’t go to a Jew?
On the one hand, nobody is forced to donate a kidney and by forbidding this we’re making things worse for an innocent patient. On the other hand, it can be seen as the state sanctioning this kind of discrimination.
You would be wrong about that, in 2021 more than 450 people in the US anonymously donated a kidney to a non-familiy member (source). This is the scenario I’m asking about. One of the arguments given is that just as we allow monetary donations to specific groups of people, why not organs.
I think the conditions of anonymously giving it away would preclude the ability to discriminate. You’ll likely have to sign something saying as much.
Nobody knew your scenario before you explained it in detail. It is simply not happening.
Organisations don’t want to be bothered with such restrictions from a donor. Their principles are: fair and anonymous. It is hard enough already this way.
I thought that “altruistic organ donor” was a well understood concept, I was wrong.
You’re factually wrong on that aspect.
So, what does it tell you?
Because of 450 cases in some foreign country? Don’t be ridiculous.
