[WSBAPT] NYT Organ Donation Essay

[Laura Latta]

Hello Listmates,

I am sharing a recent guest essay from the NYT on ethical issues with organ
donation. I assume that most of you (like me) discuss organ donation with
clients on a regular basis. When articles like this one circulate, I find
that clients will mention it and more of them will decline organ donation
(though as a general rule most are willing donors).

I'd be interested to know if others of you are hearing about this essay (or
the 2025 related article which is linked in the essay) and how you respond
to the concerns raised. I have generally reassured folks that
organ donation is an entirely voluntary, safe, and regulated process, but
some of the essay's claims are eyebrow-raising to say the least.

Laura
