Abstract
In response to what has been characterized as the "last remaining obstacle to transplantation," Senator Warren Hatch introduced a bill on October 20, 1983 which would establish a task force to investigate and make recommendations to Congress about the problem. Hearings and debate on the bill are scheduled to resume with the next Congress. Its future is bleak with the administration opposing it and the budget-cutting axe being resharpened. Regardless of the bill's outcome, the problem of supplying anatomical organs will continue to present a host of moral, political, and most importantly, legal issues which must be resolved if society is to realize the full benefit of transplant science. This article will attempt to address some of these questions, exploring possibilities and obstacles presented by each.
