Abstract

Ingrained shortage of human organs in the area of human organ transplantation has been extensively recognized. The number of candidates awaiting an organ transplant emphatically surpasses the pool of available organs for donation. The hiatus between the supply and demand for human organs widens every year and thus, many candidates on the waiting list die even before receiving an organ.

Misra had told PTI in November, 2017, ‘The system of opt-out will improve the scenario (in India). Heart and other organs go unutilised after accidental fatalities, even though patients are in need of various transplants. So, we must have a presumed consent for the harvesting of the organs, but it has to be made legal to address the shortage.’
