National Organ Transplant Act

Read a random definition: communia placita non tenenda in scaccario

A quick definition of National Organ Transplant Act:

The National Organ Transplant Act is a law made in 1984 that says it is illegal to buy or sell organs that can be used for transplants. This means that people cannot sell their organs to others who need them, and people cannot buy organs from others. The law helps to make sure that organs are donated freely and fairly, and that people are not taken advantage of or treated unfairly because of their need for a transplant.

A more thorough explanation:

The National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) is a federal law that was passed in 1984. The law prohibits the sale of human organs that can be used for transplant. This means that it is illegal to buy or sell organs for the purpose of transplantation.

For example, if someone needs a kidney transplant, they cannot legally pay someone else to donate their kidney. Similarly, a hospital or doctor cannot buy organs from individuals or organizations that are selling them.

The purpose of NOTA is to prevent the exploitation of individuals who may be desperate for money and willing to sell their organs. It also helps to ensure that organs are allocated fairly and based on medical need rather than financial gain.
