Legal dispute could complicate already high-pressure organ donation process

Two entities dedicated to fighting to save lives through organ transplant operations are now fighting with each other.
Buckeye Transplant Services filed a lawsuit against the United Network for Organ Sharing - or UNOS - on July 3 after the Richmond-based non-profit accused the transplant screening service of putting donor and patient privacy at risk.
UNOS claimed Buckeye did so by using technology to gain unauthorized, improper access to a DonorNet database. Buckeye denied any wrongdoing and insisted that the company has always complied with data accessibility protocol.
