It would seem that most people, if in need of an organ donation, would prefer it came from someone of "good moral character."
Just in case you end up with the kidney of a serial killer, y'know. Because that would be really bad.
Personally, while I could spend some time rolling my eyes at the stupid and joining in some debunking, I'm going to stick to my first instinct - I'm rather of the opinion that if you need an ORGAN then you are not exactly in a position to be picky. If you need a heart transplant or a kidney transplant or whatever (I am not medically trained, I have no idea what is transplanted and what isn't) then you are not really in a position to get picky about it.
Still - to provide people, picky or otherwise, with organs I would recommend all UK folks to register here http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/how_to_become_a_donor/how_to_become_a_donor.jsp to provide the NHS with a sufficient supply of morally questionable organs :)
(I have, but I suspect it's a waste of time since us dirty homosexual types are firmly prevented from infecting the precious heteros with our filthy diseased homosexualness. Yes, I'm bitter :P).
