Should a person who is part of an organ donor network receive a transplant sooner than someone who urgently needs a transplant but is not part of a network?
David Undis, who heads an organization called LifeSharers, says that those who are willing to donate organs should also benefit if they need a transplant.
Dr. Hans Sollinger, who chairs the division of transplantation at the University of Wisconsin Department of Surgery, said that transplant centers such as University Hospital’s can only follow federal rules.
