> The policy to not accept homosexuals as donors is created by some FDA(?) policy

The language on marrow.org is unclear on this point, so I emailed them. The person who replied clarified that while their guidelines are "based" on the FDA's blood donation guidelines, their own Donor and Patient Safety Committee [1] ultimately determines policy.
