Cash for Kidneys: The Use of Financial Incentives for Organ Donation

Julie Tanner Sanford, DNS, RN

Judith Townsend Rocchiccioli, PhD, RN

Many campaigns and programs aimed at increasing donations have not been that successful, and the overall rate of organ donation after death has remained relatively constant over the past few years. The only solution to the widening gap between the number of organs available for transplant and the number of patients waiting is to substantially increase the number of suitable organ donors. This article addresses the historical perspectives of organ transplantation, examines the scarcity of transplantable organs, examines current state and federal legislation relating to organ donation, and explores the use of financial incentives that must be considered to alleviate these issues.

Key Words: organ donation • financial incentives • kidney transplants
