Iran[edit]

Iran is the only nation that allows organs to be bought and sold for money. Due to lack of infrastructure to maintain an efficient organ transplant system in the early 1980s, Iran legalized living non-related donation (LNRD) of kidneys in 1988.[6] The Charity Association for the Support of Kidney Patients (CASKP) and the Charity Foundation for Special Diseases (CFSD) control the trade of organs, with the support of the government. These nonprofit organizations match donors to recipients, setting up tests to ensure compatibility. Donors receive tax credit compensation from the government, free health care insurance, and often direct payment from the recipient with the average donor being paid $1,200.[6][7] Some donors are also offered employment opportunities. Charity organizations support recipients that cannot afford the cost of the organ.[8]
Iran does place restrictions on the commercial organ trade in an attempt to limit transplant tourism. The market is contained within the country; that is, foreigners are not allowed to buy the organs of Iranian citizens. Additionally, organs can only be transplanted between people of the same nationality – so, for example, an Iranian cannot purchase a kidney from a refugee from another country.[7]
Proponents of legalized organ trade have hailed the Iranian system as an example of an effective and safe organ trading model. In addition, the LNRD model is compatible with the social climate in the country. Religious practices in Iran stymies donation culture in the country as organ donations is often viewed as taboo. In 2017, from a possible 8000 cases of brain death, 4000 organs were viable, but only 808 were transplanted due to lack of consent.[9]
Some critics argue that the Iranian system is in some ways coercive, as over 70% of donors are poor.[10] There is no short-term or long-term follow-up on the health of organ donors.[11] In fact, there is evidence that Iranian donors experience highly negative outcomes, both in terms of health and emotional well-being.[12]
