Organ donations can legally be done privately. In all 50 states (and under federal law) you can donate an organ to a specific individual or doctor or hospital.
This is called directed donation, and it's the key to ending the organ shortage and saving thousands of lives every year. Organ donors should direct that their organs be offered first to others who have agreed to donate their own organs when they die. Those who haven't agreed to donate should go to the back of the waiting list.
If you are an organ donor and you want your organs to go to another donor, you can do this by joining a network of organ donors called LifeSharers. Membership is free and open to all at http://www.lifesharers.com/.
