How should we address organ donation shortages?

Today there are numerous discussions regarding a shortage in the organ-transplant market. More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for life-saving kidneys, livers, lungs, and other vital organs. The government doesn’t permit organ sales to occur. In 1984, Congress forbade the purchase or sale of human organs in the United States (the National Organ Transplant Act).  Use the following sources to research this example of the price ceiling set at zero. Discuss your own conclusion regarding what should be done about organ shortage, including references to the sources you used.  Located in Richmond, Virginia, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, scientific and educational organization that administers the nation's only Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network established by the U.S. Congress in 1984. http://www.unos.org/  The U.S. Congress established the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) when it enacted the National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) of 1984.
