United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal from a judgment of the district court dismissing plaintiffs' challenge to the ban on compensation for human organs as applied to bone marrow transplantation through peripheral blood stem cell apheresis cell extraction, judgment is reversed because the peripheral blood stem cell apheresis method is not a transfer of a "human organ" or a "subpart thereof" as defined by the National Organ Transplant Act.
