      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.Table of ContentsFront MatterSummary1 Introduction2 Trends and Patterns3 Perspectives and Principles4 Systems To Support Organ Donation5 Expanding The Population of Potential6 Promoting and Facilitating Individual and Family Decisions toDonate7 Presumed Consent8 Incentives for Deceased Donation9 Ethical Considerations In Living Donation10 Opportunities for ActionAppendix A AcronymsAppendix B Workshop MeetingsAppendix C First-Person Consent Status and Organ Donor RegistryParticipationAppendix D Quantifying Self-Interest in Organ DonationAppendix E HRSA's Extramural Research ProgramAppendix F Washington Hospital Center: Protocol for the Rapid OrganRecovery Program, Transplantation ServicesAppendix G Committee and Staff BiographiesIndex
