Abstract: The supply of organs—particularly kidneys—donated by living and deceased donors falls short of the number of patients added annually to transplant waiting lists in the United States. To remedy this problem, a number of prominent physicians, ethicists, economists and others have mounted a campaign to suspend the prohibitions in the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 (NOTA) on the buying and selling of organs. The argument that providing financial benefits would incentivize enough people to part with a kidney… Show more

“…With research showing that patients of lower socioeconomic status may be less likely to receive LDKTs (55), access to these types of services for themselves or their potential donors may make the difference between patients receiving the benefits of LDKTs or remaining on long-term dialysis. This evidence has led to recent arguments to make living donation financially neutral so that donors do not incur substantial costs in the process (56,57). As such, the workgroup recommended that information about these programs be available at the point of first contact for all potential transplant candidates and potential living donors (e.g., in community nephrology, dialysis, and primary care offices).…”

“…Although the transplant community agrees that financial disincentives should be eliminated, there is ongoing debate about the best way to achieve this goal (8)(9)(10). Until systemic changes are implemented, improving informed consent documents may ensure a more uniform experience for donor-recipient pairs and enhance their ability to take full advantage of existing mechanisms to reduce the financial burdens of living donation.…”
