Abstract: The National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 banned compensation for organ donation. The ban was interpreted as applying also to bone marrow. An August 2017 decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services made compensation legal for bone marrow. I review the situation regarding compensation for bone marrow donations from 1984 to 2017 and describe what has happened so far under legalized compensation.
