Madras high court
CHENNAI: In organ donation, every third-party donor does not need to be scrutinised by the authorities with a needle of suspicion, as there are genuine donors who come forward voluntarily to donate their organs.

Such third-party donors are, therefore, not ones who were exploited, Madras high court said.
Justice P T Asha made the observation while setting aside an order of the authorisation committee, directorate of medical education and research, Kilpauk, rejecting an application by a stage V chronic kidney disease patient seeking to transplant a kidney donated by his maternal aunt’s husband’s brother. The committee rejected the application with a one-line order that said, “Relationship not established.”

It is, however, the duty of the authorisation committee to examine, investigate and arrive at the conclusion that the donation is not backed by any commercial interest, for which the rules provide certain parameters, the judge cautioned.
“In the case on hand, a perusal of the transcript of the statements made by the donor and his wife clearly brings out that they came forward voluntarily to donate and, in their own words, which was said in unison, ‘that saving a life is important’,” the judge said.

The donor, his wife, the recipient and his father clearly described the relationship between the parties. The donor and his wife also cogently gave reasons for coming forward to donate the organ.
There is no material produced on the side of the authorities to show that the donor did not come forward to donate his organ out of altruism (the fact of caring about the needs and happiness of other people more than your own). In the absence of the above, the rejection by the committee is arbitrary and baseless, the court added.

The court then remitted the matter to the committee and directed it to grant permission for transplantation in accordance with the law within three weeks. In case the same is not granted within the stipulated time, it shall be deemed to be granted. Upon grant of approval/deemed approval, the petitioners are entitled to undergo the transplantation, the court added.

[24/02, 08:00] sekarreporter1: சென்னை உயர்நீதிமன்றம், உறுப்பு தானம் செய்பவர்களை சந்தேகத்துடன் பார்க்கக்கூடாது என்று கூறியுள்ளது. இந்த வழக்கில், ஒரு நோயாளிக்கு சிறுநீரகம் தானம் செய்ய அவரது அத்தை கணவரின் சகோதரர் முன்வந்தார். ஆனால், அதற்கான அனுமதியை அதிகாரமளிப்பு குழு மறுத்துவிட்டது. இதை எதிர்த்து நீதிமன்றத்தில் வழக்கு தொடரப்பட்டது.

நீதிபதி பி.டி. ஆஷா, தானம் செய்பவர்கள் உண்மையில் அன்புடன் முன்வருபவர்கள் என்றும், அவர்களை சந்தேகத்துடன் பார்க்கக்கூடாது என்றும் கூறினார். தானம் செய்பவர்கள் மற்றும் பெறுபவர்களின் வாக்குமூலங்களை ஆராய்ந்த நீதிமன்றம், அவர்கள் உண்மையிலேயே அன்புடன் முன்வந்துள்ளனர் என்று கூறியது. ¹

இந்த தீர்ப்பு, உறுப்பு தானம் செய்பவர்களுக்கு ஊக்கமளிக்கும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.

இந்த வழக்கு தொடர்பாக மேலும் தகவல்கள் தெரிந்து கொள்ள விரும்பினால், அல்லது உறுப்பு தானம் செய்வது பற்றி அறிய விரும்பினால், கூறுங்கள்.

உங்களுக்கு இதில் என்ன தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும்? உறுப்பு தானம் செய்வதற்கான செயல்முறை அல்லது அதன் நன்மைகள் பற்றி அறிய விரும்புகிறீர்களா?
