Organ donation plan in Israel

This article discusses a new organ donation plan that will soon be launched in Israel. The plan is intended to increase organ donation by rewarding those who sign an organ donor card by moving their family up in line to receive an organ transplant, if they are waiting for one. This plan has been met with controversy as a result of religious beliefs concerning organ donation.


To learn more about the controversy, please read the following article, " From Israel, a radical way to boost organ donation" by Aron Heller, from the Associated Press Online, March 12, 2010.
