House Clarifies Organ Donation Law

March 8, 2007

The House Wednesday approved by a 422-0 vote legislation named for the late Georgia Rep. Charlie Norwood, that organ donor groups say could lead to many more kidney transplants each year. The “Charlie W. Norwood Living Organ Donation Act,” which the Senate is expected to adopt soon, would specify that “paired” kidney donations don’t violate laws against trading organs for compensation. (AP)
