Answer:

Normally, no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since of the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, the distribution of human organs within the United States is banned. Selling organs is a crime and offenders can be charged with imprisonment or subject to fines.

Whilst selling and distributing organs are illegal, donation on the other hand is completely legal as they will typically be used within a surgical setting.
