Administration doesn't want incentive for more bone marrow for deathly ill: Payment to donors: The Obama administration has asked a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling that most bone marrow donors can be compensated for providing life-saving marrow cells harvested from their bloodstreams.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously on Dec. 1 that bone marrow filtered from a donor's blood was a blood part, not an organ part, and could be legally sold.
But in a petition for rehearing by a full 11-judge panel of the court, U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the three-judge panel had ignored the clear intent of Congress to prevent money from influencing donation decisions.
