Move to curb trade in human organs

SEREMBAN: Those found to be involved in the trading of human organs and tissues are liable to be fined up to RM1mil and jailed up to 20 years if the proposal by the Health Ministry is approved by Parliament.

Those convicted of offering, initiating and getting involved in any commercial negotiation to supply organs and human tissues are also liable to similar penalties under the proposed Organ and Tissue Transplantation Bill.
