Healthcare decisions should be clinical, not social experiments. This bill risks forcing doctors to play by government rules, not science.

No more second-class patients: organ transplants are about need, not stereotypes. It’s time healthcare caught up with basic decency.

Finally, a law that says disability isn’t a death sentence for organ transplants—humanity wins! Disability rights aren’t optional, they’re mandatory.

If you’re qualified, you get a chance—no ifs, ands, or ableist buts. Medicine should heal people, not judge them.

Cute idea, but this might turn organ transplants into a charity event instead of a medical necessity. Medicine isn’t about political correctness.

It’s a balancing act: avoid discrimination but respect medical realities—no group gets a free pass or an automatic rejection.

Equal access makes sense, but hospitals still need to use common sense on medical risks. Compassion plus scrutiny is the recipe here.

The devil’s in the individualized details; fairness means case-by-case care, not blanket bans or guarantees.

Giving organs based on disability status opens Pandora’s box—where’s the line drawn on ‘medically significant’? It’s a slippery slope.
