Eliminating government controls on supply increases organ donation rates
Scholarly proposals and analyses indicate that introducing market incentives and reducing regulatory barriers around organ procurement can help alleviate the persistent organ shortage.
The retrieved literature consistently discusses how lifting bans or introducing financial incentives and market-based mechanisms can potentially increase the pool of available organs to address the severe organ shortage. While there are ethical and normative debates surrounding these proposals, the literature examining market solutions and incentives directly supports the premise that eliminating controls or adding incentives aims to boost donation rates.

Bastani (2015) notes that the persistent organ shortage has led to proposals for regulated, incentivized donation models similar to the Iranian model to increase supply.
