Organ rejection is a common misfortune in medicine today. However, most of them happen in a patient’s body. This is not the case for Adam Scott, whose organs were rejected simply because he was gay. Although his suicide did not allow him to see his organs turned away for such an extraneous reason, his mother was forced to bear not only the grief of the death of her son, but the anger that came with the rejection.
“At first I didn’t understand why his sexual orientation would affect his organs. Then I felt appalled that perfectly good organs could not be used because my son was gay. He is just another human being. No mother should have to go through the same pain I faced.“
Scott was just seventeen years old when he ended his life on April
