Organ Transplantation Laws in India
Organ Transplant in India is strictly Governed by Govt of India. The law is very Tough and Restricts any commercial transaction between the donor and the recipient of any organ. The Law restricts only close or blood relatives (brother, sister, mother, father, children or spouse) can donate organ to the patient.
A special permission is required to be taken from the Govt. of India if an unrelated person wants to donate any organ to the patient. If the donor or the recipient or both are foreigners and are seeking organ transplant operation in India, A Embassy official of the country of origin or the government of the country concerned (authenticated by the Embassy concerned in India) has to authenticate the relationship between the donor and the recipient.
Procedures
Most frequently performed organ transplants in India are:
- Kidney transplant: Kidney transplant, also known as renal transplant is the operation in which the affected kidney is replaced with the live and well-functioning kidney obtained from the person who is willing to donate one. The Recent advancements allow kidney transplant even for the blood group which do not match.
- Liver transplant: It is the most important organ transplant done which requires high skills and experience . In this procedure the diseased and damaged liver that cannot perform its normal functions is transplanted with the live and healthy liver sourced from the donor.
- Bone marrow transplant: Bone marrow transplantation is also known as stem cell transplant .It is a surgical procedure in which the damaged bone marrow is replaced with the healthy bone marrow cells..
Recent Developments In India for Organ Transplant
a) Artificial and Implantable Organs
Creating artificial organ which can last long is one of the solution for the transplantable organs which are in short supply.
With Recent Technology, , researchers are able to develop bioartificial organs that can keep patients with serious organ failure alive and functioning for years. The Ultimate aim is to keep patients alive until they can receive a Healthy and Live organ,.More studies and experiments are researched for patients to be able to live for long periods of time with artificial hearts or kidneys
b) Ending Body Rejection of Transplants
In This procedure Doctors prepare the patient’s immune system before the surgery by using drugs that target the immune systems which look for any foreign invaders like bacteria or tissue from outside donors inorder to eliminate them. After the procedure doctors then transplant both the donor’s kidney and bone marrow. The bone marrow cell rebuilds the body’s immune system as a chimera, which is a hybrid combination of the patient’s cells and the donor’s cells. This allows body to accept and end rejection.
c) A Machine That Keeps Organs Alive Outside The Body
Technology is becoming a major and important player in perfection of organ donation. Recent Developments like the Lung Perfusion System gives necessary time to organs to remain outside the human body for extended periods This system also allows doctors to “enhance and keep alive ” the fragile organ so that it remains in a healthier state than it was when it was removed.
Right now, the machine makes it possible for transplant of lungs that have been outside of the body for 16 hours. But more research is underway so that they could work on lungs for two to three days before transplanting and for other body organs also.
d) Printing 3D Organs
Although the concept is in Nacent stage, researchers have shown the possibility of using 3D printing to create replacement tissues and organs. This is done by first collecting data about a patient’s organs via a CT scan and then create a computerized form of their organ to print. This model helps to guide the printer as it prints layer-by-layer a three-dimensional structure made up of cells and the biomaterials to hold the cells together. Still lot of research is to be done and many trials to be conducted , but there’s hope that printing organs could one day appendage the shortage of live organs. Printing more structural outer-tissue body parts may happen sooner.
