Organ procurement and mandated choice: an alternative to the existing system.

One of the greatest problems facing medicine today is the allocation of scarce resources. A manifestation of this problem that affects everyone is the procurement and allocation of donor organs. This paper examines the current system of donor organ procurement in the US, points to its weaknesses, and examines three proposed alternatives. It proposes the adoption of one these alternatives, the system of mandated choice, wherein all potential donors are required to make an informed and legally binding decision to donate or not.
