Abstract
The article discusses the issue of disability-based discrimination, particularly among children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), in the listing of patients for organ transplantation in the U.S. Topics covered include patient selection criteria including medical and psychosocial factors, the legal implications of disability-based discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the impact of inconsistency in defining IDD on referral and listing.
