State tax incentives do not appear to increase the rate of living organ donation, U.S. study finds

Posted by & filed under Health Sciences.

The policies that several U.S. states have adopted giving tax deductions or credits to living organ donors do not appear to have increased donation rates. A new study has found little difference in the annual number of living organ donations per 100,000 population between the 15 states that had enacted some sort of tax benefit as of 2009 and states having no such policy at that time.
