The NHS is a patient-centered care service. It seems sensible then we should take every opportunity to help those in need. The rest of the UK has lifted the bans and in my opinion anyone who wants to should be allowed to give blood, therefore NI should follow suit. As it says at the start of the report it is a "vital act of kindness". Blood supplies are low as it is and this could save many lives. I understand that there are many different views on homosexuality and everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, hopefully even the most fundamental Christians will see the advantages of lifting this ban, despite their own feelings about homosexuals. If it can be deemed safe in other countries, surely the same can happen in Northern Ireland.
