The U.S. Organ Procurement System: A Prescription for Reform

By David L. Kaserman, A. H. Barnett, A.H. Barnett

Book Overview

This is a provocative and urgent examination of the U.S. organ procurement system, in which economists Daniel Kaserman and A. H. Barnett dissect the transplant shortage, growing waiting lists, the National Organ Transplant Act, donor allocation, and the ethics of paying donors, making a bold, evidence-driven case that market-based policy alternatives could close the supply gap and save thousands of lives at modest cost.

Experts make a compelling and persuasive case for markets in human organs.
