We are pleased that the issue of offering compensation for bone marrow donation has received so much attention.  Most recently the NY Times carried an op-ed from Dr. John Wagner and Institute for Justice Senior Attorney Jeff Rowes on the subject.  You can read the entire piece HERE.  Their final sentence encapsulates why MoreMarrowDonors.org exists:

[...] people who provide life-giving marrow cells could, in good conscience, get something in return for helping save a life.

MoreMarrowDonors.org is featured in an article in the St. Cloud Times.  The article also features co-litigant Dr. John Wagner, a leader in the field of bone marrow transplants.  In the article , MoreMarrowDonors.org board member Shaka Mitchell mentions that our desire is to increase the number of matches and we think providing small forms of compensation could bring about that goal.  Unfortunately, under current federal law, providing these scholarships, housing allowances, or gifts to charity is illegal.  Hopefully that’s about to change.
