Maybe let me donate blood before you come after my organs.

Could do both and help a lot of people.

I don't understand why people are downvoting me. I'm a monogamous gay man.

I can't donate blood. But my organs are perfectly a-ok.

It's a stupid rule, but it's being re-evaluated. Organ donation doesn't have that requirement, because on the off chance that a person has hepatitis, HIV/AIDS or other similar transmissable diseases, they will just find a patient who is already positive for that disease, and a match and just do the transplant and then continue to treat them after.
