ABOUT THIS EPISODE
1. 12 people die each day while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. Sally Satel, MD, Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and editor of When Altruism Isn't Enough: The Case for Compensating Kidney Donors discussed the shortage of organ donations and shared her story of receiving a kidney donation in 2006. She believes that a program to compensate organ donors, through in-kind rewards, such as a contribution to a retirement fund, an income tax credit, or tuition vouchers for their children—rather than lump-sum cash payments—would eliminate the shortage of available organs.
