The Legalization of Organ Sale: Getting to the Heart of the Matter Over 120,000 citizens within the United States spend their days waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. Every twelve minutes another name is added to that waiting list, for a total of 43,800 additions to the waiting list per year, and yet only a mere 28,000 organ transplants occur a year (American Transplant Foundation).
