Organ transplantation can save lives and is widely regarded as a generous act of charity. But a truly pro-life system must ensure that the dignity and protection of the donor is never compromised. SB 311 and SB 252 are Louisiana’s transplant reform bills that strengthen ethical safeguards while preserving the life-saving benefits of organ donation. These reforms ensure that donation happens only after death, with real consent and full transparency.
