ROBERT STEVEN/STUFF Cherie Eteveneaux is calling for a rethink on who can donate tissue after her son was rejected as a donor because he was gay. She felt the tissue donation criteria discriminated against gay men. Organ Donation NZ donor co-ordinator Janice Langlands said criteria for tissue donation were set by tissue banks.
