Abstract

A legal prohibition against a commercial market in transplantable organs became law on October 19, 1984, when President Reagan signed S2048, incorporating that provision of HR4080 in support of which I argued with the testimony reprinted here. Professor Humber has tried to refute the position taken in that testimony, but I find his objections unconvincing. I appreciate his providing me this opportunity to explain why.
