The present organ procurement system is unable to meet the demand for transplantation. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) is the central law in this area. It has been widely criticized and yet it has been under used in at least two respects. First, its full range of powers has neither been used nor even appreciated. Second and more important, educational efforts on its behalf are misdirected and unless altered cannot be expected to significantly increase the donor pool. Because the UAGA is consistent with the legal and ethical heritage of organ donation in the United States, attempts to correct these inefficiencies before more drastic alternatives are undertaken seem warranted.
当前的器官获取系统无法满足移植需求。《统一解剖捐赠法》（UAGA）是该领域的核心法律。它受到了广泛批评，但在至少两个方面未得到充分利用。首先，其全部权力既未被使用，甚至也未得到重视。其次且更重要的是，为其进行的教育努力方向有误，除非加以改变，否则预计无法显著增加捐赠者群体。由于《统一解剖捐赠法》与美国器官捐赠的法律和伦理传统相一致，在采取更激进的替代方案之前尝试纠正这些低效率问题似乎是有必要的。
