 3 § 4363. Waiting lists for organs. 1. All organs retrieved for trans-
 4 plantation in New York state shall be allocated according to waiting
 5 lists developed by the organ procurement organization in the service
 6 area in which the organ is procured, provided, however, that nothing
 7 herein shall preclude the exercise of medical judgment in determining
 8 the suitability of a proposed recipient to receive a particular organ,
 9 and provided further, however, that if an organ is brought into a
 10 service area of an organ procurement organization from the service area
 11 of another organ procurement organization, the organ shall be allocated
 12 according to the waiting list developed by the organ procurement organ-
 13 ization in the service area in which the organ is to be implanted. Noth-
 14 ing in this section shall prohibit:
 15 (a) an individual donor from designating the recipient of an organ;
 16 (b) organ sharing with other organ procurement organizations in
 17 accordance with federal and state standards including standards to meet

 19 difficult to identify a suitable kidney due to conditions such as a
 20 blood transfusion, immunization, prior pregnancy or a previous failed
 21 kidney transplant;
