If I choose not to donate blood (I do, but let us say...), then there are hundreds , if not thousands of others readily available and willing to take up the slack. If this guy refuses to take a few tests (just to verify what he says happened, mind you) then there is no one...no one readily available to take his spot. Needs of the many and all that, no?
They're not asking this guy to sacrifice himself to save mankind, it's "let's run a couple of tests to see if you aren't full of shit." It's a little discomfort. If this guy isn't willing to be a little uncomfortable for the possibility of helping to cure this horrible, horrible disease, then I don't want him as a member of my fraternity, so to speak. He is a waste of skin.
