title: Anencephalic organ donation in Oklahoma. Right problem, wrong answer.
abstract: The scarcity of donor organs results in the death of some pediatric transplant candidates while they wait for an organ. The use of anencephalic infants has been suggested as a way to increase the donor pool. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach are reviewed, and recommendations made for the state of Oklahoma.
