Doctors emphasize organ donations require consent
The President of the Medical Association, Dr. Osama Abdel Haye, emphasized that taking organs from any person, whether alive or deceased, is only permissible with their informed consent and voluntary agreement. He pointed out that Egypt is suffering from a severe shortage of organs needed for transplantation, especially kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs. He noted that the program to utilize organs from clinically dead donors has not yet been implemented, despite the possibility of obtaining organs after brain death while the heart continues to beat. He called for simplifying donation procedures and promoting awareness through community education, suggesting as well that the individual's wish to donate be documented when renewing their ID card. Additionally, he highlighted that the idea of obtaining organs from executed prisoners is not new, and that informed consent ensures the rights of the donor are protected.
