The U.S. government proposed new rules  to increase organ transplants — steps to make it easier for the living to donate and to make sure that organs from the deceased don’t go to waste.

The proposals come after President Donald Trump in July ordered a revamping of the nation’s care for kidney disease that included spurring more transplants of kidneys and other organs.

Thousands die every year while waiting for a transplant.  And other studies suggest people hold off volunteering to be a living donor because they can’t afford the time off work.
