Organ Transplantation and the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act
Fifty years ago this summer, the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act was adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association.

Importantly, although formulated on the basis of employee suggestio…
