Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

An extreme version of this is: What should the German health service do if someone says they are willing to donate a kidney as long as it doesn't go to a Jew?
On the one hand, nobody is forced to donate a kidney and by forbidding this we're making things worse for an innocent patient. On the other hand, it can be seen as the state sanctioning this kind of discrimination.
You're viewing a single thread.
They should be allowed to restrict their donation, but I think the health service should be allowed to overrule this necessary (if you’re the only compatible donor or something, idk how this stuff works).
Maybe don’t make it very obvious that this possibility exists so people will donate thinking their restriction is final. After all, what are they gonna do about it after their dead?
This is the only opinion so far that I completely disagree with. I don't think a system that is trying to get people to volunteraly donate their organs should be allowed to lie to donors.
Yeah I understand completely honestly.
Though I don’t mind lying to assholes who will only donate their organs to specific groups of people, the backlash and lack of trust this could cause could have disastrous effects.
I didn’t really think this through.
