Over the past several decades, more than 100 countries have passed legislation banning commercial transplantation. What explains this rapid, global diffusion of commercial transplantation laws, and what are the key factors influencing legislation? This project explores these questions through an analysis based on global-level, internationally focused, social science theories. First, I utilize various sources and conduct interviews to present a historical review of the global organ trade and legislation. The chapter details the important influence and role of the global medical epistemic community and international conceptions of human rights, dignity, and sacrality. Second, I conduct quantitative analyses of factors influencing legislation. Utilizing logistic regression and survival analysis models, I explore the global trend toward legislation across 1965-2012. In brief, the global trend toward legislation, with over 100 countries passing legislation between 1965 and 2012, is largely explained by the world society institution of human rights, a state's integration into such a society, the proliferation of world cultural scripts, models, and institutions delegitimizing the organ trade, and the influential global medical epistemic community. Additionally, economic development also impacts legislation. Overall, the results suggest that legislation is impacted by global, cultural, and economic factors.
