The Human Tissue Act

The Human Tissue Act is a law that governs the removal, storage, use, and disposal of human tissues and organs. Its primary goal is to ensure respect, dignity, and ethical standards when handling human remains, especially for medical research, transplantation, or education. The Act requires proper consent from individuals or their families and sets strict rules to prevent misuse or illegal practices. Essentially, it protects people's rights and ensures that human tissues are treated responsibly, safely, and ethically throughout their lifecycle.
