PUBLIC AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION OF ORGAN DONATION LAWS IN INDIA: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Abstract
ABSTRACT
In India,
organ donation and transplantation are governed by a thorough legal and
administrative structure designed to safeguard donors and recipients, control
the removal, storage, and transplantation of human organs and tissues, and stop
commercial transactions and the illicit organ trafficking. The Transplantation
of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994 (THOTA), as amended, the Transplantation
of Human Organs and Tissues Rules, 2014, and the institutional procedures set
up for the law's execution are the main pieces of legislation controlling this
sector. Nonetheless, the public does not necessarily assure that members of its
legal protections, safeguards, safeguards, safeguards, safeguards, safeguards,
safeguards. Public may be willing to participate in the public perspective’s
perceptions of perceptions of perceptions of perceptions of perceptions of
perceptions, institutional conformity. In order to investigate public
understanding and perception of the legislative framework governing organ
donation in India, the current study used a non-doctrinal, empirical, and
descriptive research approach. Google Forms were circulated. Google Forms were
circulated. The study includes 105 responses to the main survey questions. The
data were analysed using descriptive percentages and interpreted in relation to
perceptions of the effectiveness of the legal framework in preventing illegal
organ trade and trafficking, awareness of the legal framework, familiarity with
THOTA, perceived compliance of hospitals and transplant centers, concerns
regarding organ donation, trust in medical professionals, and willingness to
consider donor registration. The study illustrates the difference between a
general understanding of the existence of organ donation regulations and
in-depth familiarity with the particular legal structure. It also shows doubt
about trust, institutional compliance, and the effectiveness of legal
protections.
