Ina omo, Ekweremadu and the British law, By Tunji Light Ariyomo - Premium Times Nigeria

May ‘ina omo’ not scald any of us is a famous Yoruba prayer. The Yoruba by that prayer acknowledges the extreme dilemma presented by a life and death situation involving a child such as the Ekweremadus might have been experiencing upon their child’s health diagnosis. Our prayers should be with them and for the heavens to help resolve this matter to God’s glory and the healing of the child.

The effective UK law on organ transplant is the Human Organ Transplant Act which was enacted by the British parliament in 1989 and came into force, with regulations, on 1 April 1990. Choudhry et al provide clear insight into that law. It has two key components. First, it creates a series of circumstantial criminal offenses, the combined effect of which is to prohibit commercial dealings in human organs, whether procured from cadavers or live donors.

Also, HOTA focuses on live organ donations and generally makes it an offense either to remove an organ from a living donor or to transplant an organ from a living donor into another person unless the recipient and donor are genetically related. The Act provides a list of persons to whom an individual is deemed to be genetically related. This includes biological parents, children, siblings , nephews, and nieces.
