Ugh: from Cnn.com - FDA wants sperm banks to bar donors who've had 'gay sex'

Ugh - just read this article on CNN.com - apparently the FDA wants sperm banks to bar donors who've had 'gay sex' in the past 5 years for "health concerns" like HIV. Of course, HIV/AIDs is on the rise among heterosexual men and women, but the FDA insists that this is a matter of public health, not discrimination. I don't think I'm buying it.

If the real concern of the FDA is AIDS infection, couldn't it simply test the donated sperm?
