Published: June 1996

This paper presents findings from a mail survey of 414 persons regarding organ transplantation and donation policy issues. Three measures of support for organ donation were measured: donor card commitment, required request of next-of-kin support, and weak presumed consent support. High levels of support exist for organ donor cards and the required request of next-of-kin law. Little support was found for the policy of weak presumed consent.
