- Summary:
- The Surgeon General's Workshop on Increasing Organ Donation held in July 1991 was a response to the critical need to raise donation levels. The workshop brought together approximately 125 individuals from very diverse backgrounds including medicine, nursing, law, bioethics, hospital administration, public relations, and funeral homes. Other participants included transplant recipients, lawmakers, social workers, members of donor families, and representatives of national health associations. Minority groups were also represented. After two days of careful thought and discussions, the participants submitted a list of recommendations on how to increase donation levels. Those recommendations are presented in this document.
