Summary: A wide variety of alternatives, and changes discussed
Comment: Collaboratively written by David L. Kaserman (Torchmark Professor and Chairman of the Department of Economics, Auburn University) and A. H. Barnett (Professor and Chairman of the Department of Economics, International Studies, and Public Administration, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates), The U.S. Organ Procurement System: A Prescription For Reform is a close and compelling look at the problems in America's current policies regarding the distribution of human organs for transplants. Extensive surveys, facts, research, and mathematical analysis of data and trends point to a very clear picture: the system as is (which relies on human altruism alone to provide needed organs), suffers from an extreme and severe shortage that would not exist if every possible donor and family were registered. The results arising from current policies are waiting lists, suffering, and death among those who need transplants the most. A wide variety of alternatives, and changes to the current system are discussed at great and detailed length, including the offering health insurance discounts to those who agree to donate their organs. A sober and thought-provoking book on a hotly-debated and emotionally charged topic, The U.S. Organ Procurement System is strongly recommended reading for health reform activists, as well as governmental and health industry policy makers.
