"The Government of Canada is working toward a more inclusive donation system that is supported by the recent advancements in scientific evidence," Health Canada said.
Cell and organ donation next? ...the federal health agency said it is working with the Canadian Standards Association "to discuss potential changes" to the screening criteria for gay and bisexual donors.

@christ_karas I am reading the CSA Standards and the Guidance Document right now and there is a reason its behind a paywall; the discrimination embedded in these documents is real but they dont want the public to see it. Physical exams can be performed on deceased donors for example=sick
Jesus constantly subverted honor/shame systems. His teachings “Do not retaliate” and “Love your enemies" were revolutionary. Although modern religious institutions weaponize shame, Jesus offers freedom and liberation. #DailyMeditations https://t.co/nWbhABA78Q
