-The Times of India
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Indians are not only bad organ donors, but also averse to accepting brain death as the end of human life.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Doctors say most Indian families think their near and dear ones have a chance to recover till their hearts beat.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This slow acceptance of brain death &amp;mdash; patients who have suffered complete and irreversible loss of all brain functions and are clinically and legally dead &amp;mdash; is seriously affecting the country&#039;s organ retrieval programme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once a patient is declared brain dead, almost 37 different organs and tissues can be harvested, including the most important ones like heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. Donation of an entire body can help over 40 needy patients.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, once the heart stops, stalling blood circulation, only tissues like cornea, skin, bone and heart walls can be used. Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, brain death wasn&#039;t even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of &amp;quot;required request&amp;quot;. Hence, patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will have to be asked by the ICU-in-charge whether she or he has made any request for organ donation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Now, the law says that the treating physician will have to check the patient for being brain dead and if found so will have to sensitize the family about organ donation along with a transplant coordinator.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In order to reduce India&#039;s abysmally low organ availability, the Union health ministry is setting up the country&#039;s apex biomaterial centre at Safdarjung Hospital for organ and tissue banking.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have set aside Rs 25 crore for the centre that is under construction. It should be functional by next year and will be headed by a senior directorate general of health services official,&amp;quot; a senior ministry official said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;The National Biomaterial Centre will contain bones, fresh human amniotic membrane, cadaveric joints like knees, hips and shoulders, cranium bone graft, loose bone fragments, skin grafts, cornea, heart valves and vessels. This will be a highly technical body with over 35 officials manning it.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also on the anvil is an Indian Organ Donor Register &amp;mdash; a register of consent, enabling individuals to record their legal decision to becoming an organ or tissue donor after death. &amp;quot;This registry will have information on all types of organ procurement, matching, distribution, transplantation and complications. It will also maintain entries of transplant centres, transplant surgeons, dialysis physician and dialysis centers, organ recipients and donors,&amp;quot; a ministry note says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Times View&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The cadaver donation and organ transplant mechanism in India needs to be unshackled immediately from red tape. Too much of bureaucratese and arbitrariness are the twin problems that block life-saving transplants in most states in India.

Also on the anvil is an Indian Organ Donor Register &amp;mdash; a register of consent, enabling individuals to record their legal decision to becoming an organ or tissue donor after death. &amp;quot;This registry will have information on all types of organ procurement, matching, distribution, transplantation and complications.

The cadaver donation and organ transplant mechanism in India needs to be unshackled immediately from red tape. Too much of bureaucratese and arbitrariness are the twin problems that block life-saving transplants in most states in India.

Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Earlier, brain death wasn&#039;t even diagnosed.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Indians are not only bad organ donors, but also averse to accepting brain death as the end of human life.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Doctors say most Indian families think their near and dear ones have a chance to recover till their hearts beat.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This slow acceptance of brain death &amp;mdash; patients who have suffered complete and irreversible loss of all brain functions and are clinically and legally dead &amp;mdash; is seriously affecting the country&#039;s organ retrieval programme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once a patient is declared brain dead, almost 37 different organs and tissues can be harvested, including the most important ones like heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. Donation of an entire body can help over 40 needy patients.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, once the heart stops, stalling blood circulation, only tissues like cornea, skin, bone and heart walls can be used. Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, brain death wasn&#039;t even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of &amp;quot;required request&amp;quot;. Hence, patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will have to be asked by the ICU-in-charge whether she or he has made any request for organ donation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Now, the law says that the treating physician will have to check the patient for being brain dead and if found so will have to sensitize the family about organ donation along with a transplant coordinator.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In order to reduce India&#039;s abysmally low organ availability, the Union health ministry is setting up the country&#039;s apex biomaterial centre at Safdarjung Hospital for organ and tissue banking.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have set aside Rs 25 crore for the centre that is under construction. It should be functional by next year and will be headed by a senior directorate general of health services official,&amp;quot; a senior ministry official said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;The National Biomaterial Centre will contain bones, fresh human amniotic membrane, cadaveric joints like knees, hips and shoulders, cranium bone graft, loose bone fragments, skin grafts, cornea, heart valves and vessels. This will be a highly technical body with over 35 officials manning it.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also on the anvil is an Indian Organ Donor Register &amp;mdash; a register of consent, enabling individuals to record their legal decision to becoming an organ or tissue donor after death. &amp;quot;This registry will have information on all types of organ procurement, matching, distribution, transplantation and complications. It will also maintain entries of transplant centres, transplant surgeons, dialysis physician and dialysis centers, organ recipients and donors,&amp;quot; a ministry note says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Times View&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The cadaver donation and organ transplant mechanism in India needs to be unshackled immediately from red tape. Too much of bureaucratese and arbitrariness are the twin problems that block life-saving transplants in most states in India.

Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Earlier, brain death wasn&#039;t even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of &amp;quot;required request&amp;quot;. Hence, patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will have to be asked by the ICU-in-charge whether she or he has made any request for organ donation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Now, the law says that the treating physician will have to check the patient for being brain dead and if found so will have to sensitize the family about organ donation along with a transplant coordinator.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;In order to reduce India&#039;s abysmally low organ availability, the Union health ministry is setting up the country&#039;s apex biomaterial centre at Safdarjung Hospital for organ and tissue banking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;We have set aside Rs 25 crore for the centre that is under construction.

It will also maintain entries of transplant centres, transplant surgeons, dialysis physician and dialysis centers, organ recipients and donors,&amp;quot; a ministry note says.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Times View&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The cadaver donation and organ transplant mechanism in India needs to be unshackled immediately from red tape.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Indians are not only bad organ donors, but also averse to accepting brain death as the end of human life.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Doctors say most Indian families think their near and dear ones have a chance to recover till their hearts beat.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This slow acceptance of brain death &amp;mdash; patients who have suffered complete and irreversible loss of all brain functions and are clinically and legally dead &amp;mdash; is seriously affecting the country&#039;s organ retrieval programme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once a patient is declared brain dead, almost 37 different organs and tissues can be harvested, including the most important ones like heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. Donation of an entire body can help over 40 needy patients.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
On the other hand, once the heart stops, stalling blood circulation, only tissues like cornea, skin, bone and heart walls can be used. Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, brain death wasn&#039;t even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of &amp;quot;required request&amp;quot;. Hence, patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will have to be asked by the ICU-in-charge whether she or he has made any request for organ donation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Now, the law says that the treating physician will have to check the patient for being brain dead and if found so will have to sensitize the family about organ donation along with a transplant coordinator.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In order to reduce India&#039;s abysmally low organ availability, the Union health ministry is setting up the country&#039;s apex biomaterial centre at Safdarjung Hospital for organ and tissue banking.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have set aside Rs 25 crore for the centre that is under construction. It should be functional by next year and will be headed by a senior directorate general of health services official,&amp;quot; a senior ministry official said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;The National Biomaterial Centre will contain bones, fresh human amniotic membrane, cadaveric joints like knees, hips and shoulders, cranium bone graft, loose bone fragments, skin grafts, cornea, heart valves and vessels. This will be a highly technical body with over 35 officials manning it.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also on the anvil is an Indian Organ Donor Register &amp;mdash; a register of consent, enabling individuals to record their legal decision to becoming an organ or tissue donor after death. &amp;quot;This registry will have information on all types of organ procurement, matching, distribution, transplantation and complications. It will also maintain entries of transplant centres, transplant surgeons, dialysis physician and dialysis centers, organ recipients and donors,&amp;quot; a ministry note says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Times View&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The cadaver donation and organ transplant mechanism in India needs to be unshackled immediately from red tape. Too much of bureaucratese and arbitrariness are the twin problems that block life-saving transplants in most states in India.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Indians are not only bad organ donors, but also averse to accepting brain death as the end of human life.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Doctors say most Indian families think their near and dear ones have a chance to recover till their hearts beat.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This slow acceptance of brain death &amp;mdash; patients who have suffered complete and irreversible loss of all brain functions and are clinically and legally dead &amp;mdash; is seriously affecting the country&#039;s organ retrieval programme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once a patient is declared brain dead, almost 37 different organs and tissues can be harvested, including the most important ones like heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. Donation of an entire body can help over 40 needy patients.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On the other hand, once the heart stops, stalling blood circulation, only tissues like cornea, skin, bone and heart walls can be used. Vilasrao Deshmukh&#039;s death on Tuesday &amp;mdash; after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time &amp;mdash; is another glaring example of the country&#039;s abysmally low organ donation rate.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS&#039;s Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &amp;quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;

Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS's Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, &quot;Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death.

Earlier, brain death wasn't even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of &quot;required request&quot;. Hence, patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will have to be asked by the ICU-in-charge whether she or he has made any request for organ donation.&nbsp;

Indians bad organ donors, don’t accept brain death: Doctors-Kounteya Sinha

-The Times of India Indians are not only bad organ donors, but also averse to accepting brain death as the end of human life.  Doctors say most Indian families think their near and dear ones have a chance to recover till their hearts beat.  This slow acceptance of brain death — patients who have suffered complete and irreversible loss of all brain functions and are clinically and legally dead — is seriously affecting the country's organ retrieval programme.  Once a patient is declared brain dead, almost 37 different organs and tissues can be harvested, including the most important ones like heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and pancreas. Donation of an entire body can help over 40 needy patients.  On the other hand, once the heart stops, stalling blood circulation, only tissues like cornea, skin, bone and heart walls can be used. Vilasrao Deshmukh's death on Tuesday — after doctors failed to find a compatible liver that could be transplanted on time — is another glaring example of the country's abysmally low organ donation rate.  Dr Aarti Vij, faculty in-charge at AIIMS's Organ Retrieval Banking Organization (ORBO), said, "Indians still find it difficult to accept brain death. When they see an active pulse, a warm body and a beating heart, families think there is still a possibility of the patient coming back to life. Common perception is that a person dies only when the heart beat stops. Awareness about brain death as permanent has to be increased."  Dr Vij cited the recently passed Transplantation of Human Organs Amendment Act, 2011, which has given a big push to brain death.  Earlier, brain death wasn't even diagnosed. Now, the law has cleared the provision of "required request".
