Abstract
The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, drafted by the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, provides a comprehensive and modern legal framework for the donation of human organs for medical research, education and therapy. Widespread adoption of the Act, which eliminates existing unnecessary legal formalities, will make available more human tissue for medical purposes.Keywords
