Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers) (lemmy.world)

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.

The CCP is not a race.

I don't know what CCP is, but I do know that vast majority of people in China support the Communist Party of China, and that all the western smears against China are rooted in projection of things that are actually happening in the west.
