VI.   Homo Sapien Life

Upon official death, unless a formal objection has been lodged and recorded by the deceased, or the deceased immediate family, all bodies released by the Coroner of a deceased under the age of forty (40) permit the donation and harvesting of organs and tissues.

While it is regarded by some Cults and Religions that the donation of organs and tissues is a sacrilege before some deity, there is no evidence of such dishonor. On the contrary, the denial of enabling the loss of one like to represent the potential saving of others through organ and tissue donation is a greater disgrace.

The live donation of organs and tissue is not permitted, excepting blood donations and in rare cases bone marrow donation.

To object to the automatic presumption of organ donation prior to the age of forty (40), a member of society must make such objection clear in declaration, signed and witnessed prior to their death.

No charge, nor fee nor valuable consideration of any kind is permitted in either the harvesting of organs and tissues, nor their storage or transport.

As organ and tissue donation is for the benefit of the society as a whole, no private trust, corporation or entity is permitted to claim ownership of donated tissues, unless through the express wishes of the donor prior to their death.

The family of the deceased may only object against organ and tissue donation on the basis of one of two reasons:

(i) That the deceased intended to object to organ donation, completed an objection or for some reason failed to properly express the clear intention as evidenced by some writing or proof; or

(ii) That the permitted organ and tissue harvesting is in fundamental breach to a strict belief of the valid Religion of the family and that if permitted to occur would bring even greater grief and anguish, thus injuring the family.
