It was discriminatory, just not bigoted. Medical professionals have to be discriminating in who gets organs, because there aren't enough for everyone. They rightfully, necessarily discriminate against people who will not significantly benefit from the organs they have, including against antivaxx morons.

There's all sorts of shots, need meds, treatments you have to keep up with sheet an organ transplant She made it clear that she wasn't going to follow those directions, making it a waste to give her an organ transplant.

A bit of a semantics thing but it's not discrimination because they're subjecting all organ transplant candidates to the same requirements. Discrimination has a specific meaning in a Canadian legal context.

You and @Holyginz are just using different meanings of the word from each other.

discriminatory
adjective

  1. Marked by or showing prejudice; biased.

  2. Making distinctions.
