§ Sir Geoffrey FinsbergTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what representations he has received seeking assurances that adoptive parents and adoptive brothers and sisters are not precluded from donating organs for transplant;
647W(2) what representations he has received seeking assurances that spouses will not be precluded from donating organs for transplant.
§ Mr. FreemanNone. The Human Organ Transplants Bill, now before the House, is not intended to deny individuals the opportunity of donating organs for altruistic motives.
Under the provisions of the Bill, the transplantation of a human organ from a live donor who is not genetically related to the recipient will be permitted if certain conditions are satisfied. These conditions will be the subject of regulations to be drawn up following consultation with the profession and other bodies.
