Legalities Surrounding Organ Transplants In India

The demand for organ transplants surpasses the available donors, leading to the emergence of illicit practices like the commercialization of organ transplantation. In response, legislative measures were introduced to curb these activities. The legal framework for organ donation in India is primarily outlined in the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994 (as amended in 2014), along with the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Rules, 2014. These laws aim to eradicate trafficking and prevent the commercial trade of human organs. This content is for Subcribers only.Join Premium MembershipAlready a member? Log in here...
