Why are we even repeatedly discussing this. There are ALWAYS shortages of organs for MANY reasons. ALWAYS.

Cost/benefit/risk analysis is stupid when so many people die waiting for organs for transplant.

The fact that "screening is not perfect" is also ridiculous. With organs being overly picky with general rules is deadly. I'm a gay man, sexually monogamous for 4.5 years, but I can't give blood or donate my organs (I did fill out my donor card), while some whore can. Even with a nation that has socialized medicine it costs money and manpower to screen organs. Nothing is free ever. So they have to go through a screening process on who to accept organs from because they do not have the money or manpower to test all of them.
It sucks but that is the way it is and always will be unless they come up with a dirt cheap and highly reliable process of testing.
