Cap. 558 Art. 13Living organ donation.

Procurement organisations and transplantation centres shall be bound to have in place a framework approved by the Superintendent to assess all potential live organ donors and to decide whether the transplant should be approved, based on the following criteria:

(a) in the case of donation between blood relatives and family members who are not blood relatives, an organ must be donated to an identified recipient;

(b) in other non-related donations a pre-existent close emotional link has to be present between the donor and the recipient for such a donation to be acceptable; and

(c) in the case of non-directed altruistic organ donation the principle of distributive justice shall be adopted by which a donated organ shall be allocated to a recipient according to his medical needs. Such a decision shall be taken by the Superintendent.
