Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

An extreme version of this is: What should the German health service do if someone says they are willing to donate a kidney as long as it doesn't go to a Jew?

On the one hand, nobody is forced to donate a kidney and by forbidding this we're making things worse for an innocent patient. On the other hand, it can be seen as the state sanctioning this kind of discrimination.

You're donating an organ, or you're not.
This ain't fuckin' Burger King. You can't have it your way!

It would've made more sense if you were talking about organ receiver. I should have a say in not giving my organs to oil tycoons.

I disagree with you, but gave you an upvote for sharing your opinion.
