The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 62
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The international legal framework around trafficking in persons for the removal of organs also provides important guidance for navigating the larger ethical and policy issues around transplantation and transplantation-related exploitation. For example, it can be convincingly argued that international human rights law and a rights-based approach support a complete rejection of all forms of transplant commercialism because of the inherent and ultimately unmanageable risks of exploitation. A human-rights-based approach will also accord priority to equality and non-discrimination over other considerations when it comes to developing responses to organ shortages and establishing criteria for equitable allocation of organs.
