International Relations Committee

The Ad Hoc International Relations Committee considers issues related to organs and patients that enter the U.S., or leave the U.S. for transplant. It reviews emerging issues related to U.S. candidates who seek transplants in other countries, and it considers the medical, scientific, and ethical aspects of transplanting non-resident aliens. The committee considers the broad implications of such issues and may review specific individual issues or situations.
