AATB Supports Organ Donation Community’s Statement on Kentucky Case

AATB has signed a collective statement in support of the organ donation and transplantation community, addressing recent media attention surrounding a Kentucky organ donation case. We join others in urging the public to withhold judgment and avoid drawing conclusions until state and federal investigations are complete.

Misinformation from this coverage has caused a concerning drop in organ donor registrations, which puts the lives of thousands of transplant patients at risk. We encourage the public to trust the rigorous ethical standards that govern the donation process.

We await the full investigation to uphold the integrity of organ donation.
