Egypt Opposes Using Death Row Organs
Egyptian doctor Hossam Mowafi proposed using the bodies of those sentenced to death to save patients in need of organ transplants. However, this proposal was widely rejected because it conflicts with legal and religious principles that emphasize the sanctity of the body after death and underscore the importance of voluntary donation and respecting human dignity. Legal and religious experts affirmed that taking organs from death row inmates does not align with laws or Sharia, as it constitutes an infringement on an individual's rights after death and violates the philosophy of punishment. Capital punishment is considered final, and the law does not grant the state the right to harvest organs without the deceased’s free and explicit consent.
