FDA May Lift Historic Blood Donation Ban Help Those Affected by COVID-19

Doron Dorfman, associate professor in the College of Law, authored the Law 360 opinion piece “COVID-19 May Help Lift FDA Policy On Gay Blood Donors.” In his article, Dorfman discusses the recent push to lift the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s blood donation ban on gay and bisexual men. In the past week, 15 U.S. Democratic senators urged the FDA to lift the blood donation restrictions to help those in need during the COVID-19 crisis.
