Parents’ marital status irrelevant in organ transplant plea: Madras HC - DT Next

The Madras High Court in India ruled that a child's eligibility for an organ transplant cannot be contingent on the marital status of their parents. This is an international legal ruling with no direct bearing on US OPO operations, regulations, or transplant allocation policies. OPO professionals may note it as a point of comparative international transplant ethics, but it has no operational implications for US-based organizations.
