Rates of organ donation lag far behind the increasing need. At the
start of 2006, more than 90,000 people were waiting to receive a
solid organ (kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, heart, or intestine).
Organ Donation examines a wide range of proposals to increase organ
donation, including policies that presume consent for donation as
well as the use of financial incentives such as direct payments,
coverage of funeral expenses, and charitable contributions. This
book urges federal agencies, nonprofit groups, and others to boost
opportunities for people to record their decisions to donate,
strengthen efforts to educate the public about the benefits of
organ donation, and continue to improve donation systems. Organ
Donation also supports initiatives to increase donations from
people whose deaths are the result of irreversible cardiac failure.
This book emphasizes that all members of society have a stake in an
adequate supply of organs for patients in need, because each
individual is a potential recipient as well as a potential donor.
