As we mentioned in the entry of the
origins of Organ Trafficking, it began because of an over demand of organs and
the selfishness among the individuals. So, in order to avoid the organ
trafficking, we must satisfy its demand and improve our laws for the
transplants to be easier.
All over the world, several laws and
agreements have been signed in order to punish the organ trafficking, but
unfortunately in countries such as Mexico, India and Pakistan they should still
be modified for improving their efficiency. For example, in Mexico there’s an inexistence
of norms to classify
the organ’s donation, they do not specify how a donation was unforced, and they
do not even establish the medical conditions it must have. Mexican law case is
so undefined that even though the importance of specifying the approved techniques
to transplant an organ, there’s no law, norm or agreement concerning this
essential topic.
There’s no doubt about the need to enforce and improve
Mexican law in order to have a well-organized donation system.
Also, as we mentioned it lately, our legislators have
been working in several reforms concerning the topic; but, if demand is not
satisfied, this type of
organized crime will still occur around Mexican territory and surroundings.
That is the reason why it is needed that the amount of people willing to donate
their organs when they die increases immediately. For example, countries like
Spain and Uruguay had done laws to force all their citizens that are not underage
to be potential donors when they die, unless they had written before that they
do not want to.
This law has been approved and
applied on Spain, but, since it has recently been approved on Uruguay, it will
be applied until next year (2013).
In Mexico City, as well as in
Tijuana (a city of the State Baja California) it has also been approved and
applied a law which determines that all the citizens overage will be donors
when they die unless they had written the opposite before.
As we can notice, the laws and the
supply of organs are very important factors to avoid the organ trafficking and
if in our city or country does not exist any law that establishes that when we
die we will be donors, we could tell our relatives to donate our organs when we
die. With this simple action we could help a lot to avoid this crime.
