Article 53 - Organ transplant
There are primarily two (2) forms of organ and tissue Transplantation being Autografts and Allografts:
(i) Autografts are organs or tissues that are transplanted within the same organism; and
(ii) Allografts are organs or tissues that are transplanted between two (2) specimens of the same species.
Organs that have been proven to be capable of transplantation include the heart, kidneys, eyes, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and thymus.
Tissues that been proven to be capable of transplantation include bones, tendons, cornea, skin, heart valves, and veins.
In contrast to organs that usually require extraction whilst the organ is still functioning (living), tissues may be recovered sometimes up to twenty four (24) hours after the cessation of a heartbeat or the termination of life support systems.
The commercial importation or exportation of organs and tissues for organ transplantation across regional and national boundaries is strictly forbidden, to be suppressed and never permitted to be revived.
