Transplant bill rejected over concerns on organ donations from prisoners
President Muizzu rejected the Human Organ Transplant Bill due to provisions allowing prisoners to donate organs. He returned the bill to Parliament on May 31 without ratification. In a letter, Muizzu stated prisoners' autonomy is restricted, making voluntary consent questionable. Parliament decided to refer the bill back to committee for further review. The bill was passed on May 14 and forwarded to the President on May 19. The bill aimed to establish a legal framework for organ transplants, set standards, and outline rights of patients and providers.
