Organ Donation in Israel

by on February 21, 2007 at 7:14 am in Economics, Medicine | Permalink

Israel may begin something like a no-give, no-take rule for organ donation.  Under a new proposal someone who had previously signed their organ donor card would be given points helping them to move up the waiting list should they one day need a transplant organ.  See here for more on the no-give, no take rule.   

Thanks to the ever-entrepreneurial Dave Undis for the pointer.

I thought jews couldn’t donate organs.

I really like this idea. It feels like the “microfinance” of human organs.

“I thought jews couldn’t donate organs”

Not true.

They just have to wait until they’re really dead, unless the donated organ is redundant [such as a kidney, or a lobe of a liver].

In the United States, a modified form of Alex’s “no-give no-take” rule has been implemented on a grass-roots basis by LifeSharers. Check it out at http://www.lifesahrers.org.

I am a Jew and would only donate my liver. Thenthey can chop it up and make nice sandwhiches on seeded rye bread.

Jews can and do donate organs. Aguda (ultraorthodox) Party Chief Ravitz lives with a kidney donated by one of his sons (He has twelve sons and daughters and all volunteered. The issue was decided by throwing a coin).

The problem with the whole organ donation process is the fact that you’re asking people to donate organs when they should be allowed to sell their organs. You are asking for a free donation of a priceless commodity, which is extremely scarce. Its value should be tremendous. Give the people, the correct price incentives and allow market forces to work.
