Government Approved Organ Harvesting The numeric arrangement of Adepeles multiple supernumerary teeth will always counfound those who dare to count. Is it the mandibular overcrowd or the maxillary offshoots? It is the story of Nigeria, when you are confronting a demon, thousands will lunge at you. While we were busy with Buharis candidacy, President Goodluck Jonathan signed the National Health Bill into law. Thanks to Femi Falana SAN, I wouldnt have known about it. Some provisions of the Act have empowered doctors to remove the organs of living persons without authorization. This law is the most egregious violation of Nigerians right to life. Section 51 of the Act states that: 1. A person shall not remove tissue from a living person for transplantation in another living person or carry out the transplantation of such tissue except: (a) In a hospital authorized for that purpose; and (b) On the written authority of; (i) The medical practitioner in charge of clinical services in that hospital or any other medical practitioner authorized by him or her; or (ii) In the case where there is no medical practitioner in charge of the clinical services at that hospital a medical practitioner authorized thereto by the person in charge of the hospital. 2. The medical practitioner stated in subsection(1)(b) shall not be the lead participation in a transplant for which he has granted authorization under that subsection. 3. For the purpose of transplantation, there shall be an independent tissue transplantation committee within any health establishment that engages in the act and practice of transplantation as prescribed.” What this means for you is that government has empowered doctors and ritual killers. The ritual killing trade unknown to many of us, is actually the informal organ transplant trade. Abducted Nigerians are slaughtered, their organs are harvested and sold. With this law, there is a renewed justification for organ harvesting by doctors in hospitals without your consent. The body of Nigerian citizens have been reduced to spare parts which can be removed and sold wealthier citizens. Again the National Assembly has failed Nigerians. Femi Falana revealed that a powerful Foundation in the United States influenced the introduction of section 51 to the bill at the National Assembly. None of the legislators challenged provision and it is now law. In America and other countries of the West, only the donor or his next of kin has the power to authorize that an organ be removed. At the back of my American drivers license is the notice to doctors on who has signed on as an organ donor. In a country where placentas, newborn babies are sold, can you trust doctors not to harvest while the patient is not brain dead even with informed consent? Call your politicians and tell them you dont want to be harvested alive. Hmnnn...
