Organs: God gifted assets.

ABSTRACT

The organ shortage is not a medical problem, but a social one. There is a need for greater community awareness and co-operation for organ donation. This is governed by Human Organ Transplantation Act 1994 to regulate organ transplants and promote donations from cadavers. Sadly there is a large gap between the number of suffering patients and those who donate organs. The law itself needs change to rationalize the organ donation in order to stop the illegal trade of organs, because if the dying can’t get organ from dead, they will buy them from the living.
