Topic	Canadian blood people recommend ending ban on homosexuals donating blood.
Esrac 12/16/21 3:00:23 PM #18:	Trumble posted... Correlation and causation are two different things. High-risk sexual activity, not homosexual activity, is the causative factor, and while that still won't get perfect results (because, for example, some people may not be honest - but that's equally true when the question is "are you gay?"), it will be closer, as well as open it up to some people who are not high risk but currently excluded anyway. I'm aware of the difference, but I dont think it really makes a significant difference. Homosexual men are banned because they have a disproportionate infection rate. They have a disproportionate infection rate, because they, as a demographic, disproportionatly engage in high risk sexual activity. <cite>Esrac posted [p:960971326] in Canadian b...
